diff whine...

any idea what i can do to shut my diff up? drained and refilled it with a litre of ep 90 (assumed this was enough but please correct me if i am wrong) and then put some 'gearbox/diff quietener' stuff in to no avail. i dont mind the noise as long as it isnt going to cause an accident down the line...

Re: main beam flasher switch installation

sorted it now, BMC. attached one end of the switch to an always-live terminal, and the other to the blue/white wire on the right side - now when i push my red button, i get a flash. :)

Re: Sudden loss of power when engine warm

could it be a leak in the fuel line that only occurs due to the vibrations of the car moving? or else, the fuel pump may be getting stuck as heat causes things to expand..

Re: how to wire up new electrics?

Re: how to wire up new electrics?

Re: whining noise... have a feeling it might be the differential

drained the diff this morning - there wasn't a lot there, but then re filled it with EP90. noise is still present :( will check gearbox now but last time i tried it it was full. this noise has persisted for ages and i've only just got round to putting the diff oil in -.-

Re: how to wire up new electrics?

i really don't understand why you seem to think that wiring straight to the battery is a problem. it's basically the same principle as using a terminal.

whining noise... have a feeling it might be the differential

...but i have absolutely no idea! that's just a wild guess... it's weird, it appears up until about 37 mph then goes a bit quieter until 50 when it is noticeable again. any ideas? :(

Re: how to wire up new electrics?

it's running straight to the battery, and there is an inline fuse. in fact i fitted two. i just wanted to know why my terminals weren't giving any power, but it doesn't matter any more, i'm happy with the way i've done it, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. thankyou anyway.
