Hello Everyone,
I am slowly getting all the issues fixed with my 410D base! I get a low vibration when accelerating from say 10mph to 30mph depending on the revs and get a judder through the pedal, floor and steering column which feels like it is coming from under/behind me. When I put my foot rapidly on the accelerator I do get a clunk as the transmission engages. I also get it when in reverse. When I take my foot off the gas it goes away and when I am freewheeling down hill, but comes back in again when I put my foot on the gas, i.e. under load. I also have a point when slowing down that I can hear/feel a slight vibration behind me, i.e. no foot on the gas but it is at a pretty narrow speed range say 10-15mph. At speed say over 50mph I also have a high speed buz which seems to excite the table and the hob cover to vibrate and generally gets on my nerves (I have a Hymer motorhome S670). I can see that some of the weights or strips of metal on the prop shaft have come away and others are peeling off. I also have an auto gearbox. Does this sound like a prop shaft out of balance problem or is it UJ's or more worryingly a knackered flywheel?
Thanks for any help!
Gareth
p.s. I am not a mechanic sadly
