Hodge's new 4.2

[Hodge]

Wouldnt a new fan do the same thing, ????

Fan is useless if the clutch it fucked and can't drive the fan.

To confirm , can i jack up the rear axle , take the rear shaft off the transfer and see if there is play by hand spinning the shaft ?

Yeah you can but I dont know if this is going to do a whole lotta good. You have nothing for comparison and who knows, the back lash you have might be ok. The only way to find out for sure is to remove the centre and have it checked. Then you might aswell put new clutch plates and shims in the LSD while its out. Where does it stop. Lol.

Car just started making horrendous whining noise up front like a dry bearing ??? Really hope it's not the water pump bearing they put in... it's not the belts .

So this returned with a vengeance today. Spent a bit of time trying to find what and where under a hot running 4.2 with ambient 34C and it's not fun...
Ran out of time, but I'll have to drop each belt to try and isolate it.

I only just remembered that it actually happened last year. (hence quoting my self) I'm confident it's the same noise but at a lesser level...
I just HOPE this time it doesn't go away all of a sudden preventing me finding out what it is.

Yeah this time it's still there. So I think it'll stay till it's fixed.
This morning turned car on it was gone I was spewing. But by the time I got to tulla 15km.trip it was there in all its glory. So this after noon I hope to disassemble belts and try and pin point.

Certainly sounds weirds, not the best weather to be working on 4x4s either
Have you gat a thethescope to listen to Air con pully bearing??

Car was on dyno yesterday. Slight improvement since last time. I also had the 2 tensioners / pulleys and viscous hub replaced. Whatever the bearing noise I had is now gone... Happy times. Just working on burping the system now, its taking it's sweet time. Used my spill free funnel for first time.

Its taking its time cos they dont work like the older systems like I have told you. If everything is full then just drive it. Recheck the level tomorrow morning. I doubt you have to top up much if any. Once the radiator is full you should only have check it at the header tank.
