Well.......

I took off the QT Castor correcting arms and replaced them with a standard set.

The rumbling I had been getting was gone.

I'd made so many changes that making a firm diagnosis was getting difficult but we've got changing the radius arms down to 1 hour for the pair.

So double cardon joint must be the way to go. When I can get a flange :)

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

Good news then Ed, glad you've found the problem and are mobile again.  :D

No luck with finding a flange yet then?

Not yet Budgie. At least I've got a bit more time to sort it out.

I went with someone to look at a Disco on Sunday and they happened to have another set. The nuts I had went straight on. I can onl think we caught the others taking them off.

They did take a tapping I remember that, no probs, I'll pick them up and have a play in the workshop to clean the threads down, have a look round for a thread nut as well, anybody know what the thread on the front trailing arms on a 200tdi is?

Big!, try giving propshaft technology in Rotherham a call. Sorry haven't got their number to hand but Andy knows more than a thing or 2 and they are very cheap compared with a lot of places.
