I thought it was too good to last. Since replacing the gearbox, clutch and front rollbar droplinks on my JTD130 I've had a few months of troublefree motoring. However two weeks ago I noticed some new noises (more of an occasional grumble than a knock) coming from the rear. Yesterday a knock started from the front (worse when turning the wheel). I've had it up on the jack and shook each wheel top and bottom and side to side. Other than normal front steering motion each wheel has no movement. When I was jacking it up on the drivers side I did notice a groan from the rear (coil or damper?). If it ever stops raining I'll get the front wheels off and check the droplinks that I put on.
I've got the Porter manual for the marea but has anyone come up with a fault finder?
If anyone has any ideas I'd really appreciate it. The MOT is up in two weeks so I have to get a move one - in fact I may take it to be MOT'd in the hope the fail sheet will give me some clues.
PS I've also got a copy of eper on CD (bought of ebay) but I can't get it to work - is that just me or does everyone have the same problem.
