it's not my fault. I'm new to this!
« on: October 12, 2004, 13:37:18 »
On the way home from Derby I notice a rubbing sound when the landy hit 50mph and it dropped off again when over 55mph. Didnt sound major so I kept going. Came to turn onto the drive and she turned like a female dog on full lock. Juddering and it fealt like the breaks were on (yeah yeah u guys already know what the problem is). Drove it to work on Monday and it was still the same.
Pressure washed around the breaks and suspension. Dropped the wheels off to double check everything. After several hours of swearing n thinking :idea:  I discovered that the Diff lock warning light wasnt working  :oops:

Oh dear....

Normally with me the steering feels like it's going to come off in my hand. Build up of mud throwing the wheels out of balance bit time.
It won't be the first time it's been that bad I've had to pull into a jetwash and pray they would le me use it.
