Brava Differential woes

[Paul]

Quite a loud clicking is coming form my Bravas diffrential. I can't imagine this will be cheap to fix, anyone any idea of the price of a new diff?

 

[Tom]

When does it click?

 

[Anonymous]

just before he hears it

 

[Paul]

It clicks when I ease off the gas and is very noticable when slowing for a junction or going down a hill. When increasing the throttle and power through the wheels it sounds normal. It still makes the noies when the clutch is disengaged meaning the engine is okay.

 

[Tom]

Does it get worse when you turn the wheels?

 

[Paul]

Its only evident when the car is moving.

 

[Tom]

Does it get worse when you steer the car round a corner.

 

[Paul]

Nope, steering round a corner doesn't make any diffrence.

Could it be the inner velocity joint?

 

[Tom]

More than likely, which engine is it?

 

[Paul]

Its a 1.4 with 90k on the clock.
