Well this is the first part I have ever had fail on the XJ and is the only part I have had fitted too apart from the exhaust.
I was just reversing and when I braked at walking pace when I heard some let go in the rear end. Now when I go over 30 mph I get a banging noise coming from the diff that is very irregular. I put the car up on a trolley jack but could not make the sound until I ran the car while on the jack and brought the revs up with some brake on at the same time. It shook the jack handle and was very nasty to listen too.
I will have to pull the cover off tomorrow to see what let go but suspect the Tru-trac or the ring and pinion.
I just hope it is something that I can get here as don't want to do without a car for 6 weeks as it is the only car the family owns!
I hope the true -trac is fine too as did all I asked of it until now as I don't want a full locker but would not know what else to buy!
Anyone got good connection for the stuff I will need ( Dana 35C ) as last time I brought it all back in my suitcase from the States!
