Hello all.
Well its been ages but ive got my new engine in, and had the perfect excuse to get it back on the road, i had to work early and the wife needed our other car.
So first thing in the morning got the car running, set off and noticed that when i accelarate theres a loud bang it sounds like somethings moving and hitting. I decided to turn round and abort. Just after i turned round, the wheel fell off.
Anyway long story short, ive put the wheel back on, packed the drive shafts with grease but the knock/bang is still there.
Im having a look at it today, going to check the exhaust and all engine mounts, but is there anything else anyone can think i need to check?
Also a little warning, dont put 10mm spacers on with standard bolts, if i hadnt decided to turn back, 2 mins later id have been on a busy motorway.
