Title: Another new problem, help needed
Post by: Leigh on April 15, 2006, 13:00:14
This one is baffling me........ nothing unusual there!

As well as the other vibration and noises that I haven't identified yet there's now a knocking sound coming from the transfer box area. Eath time it knocks and when moving forwards slowly the handbrake drum and rear prop looks like it sticks and then jumps. It also feels like the brake is going on. Could it simply be the handbrake sticking or something more serious?

Don't suppose there's anyone in kettering or close by that has a spare 10 mins to pop by and take a look?

Cheers

The handbrake drums are known to warp on these. This will give you the sensation you mention. Try backing the handbrake off a bit, or checking the drum for ovality.

My dad had it happen to his.

Do you mean adjusting the handbrake? I'll take a look at it this afternoon

The handbrakes also stick, does it feel like thewre is no return spring when you release the handbrake, like it's not pulling back?
