Thanks Kamilo for the info. I had asked my garage to add that as a quotation and something I'll be ticking off my current list -
Rear Diff Bushes
Prop shaft bearing
Flex Disc
Engine Mounts
Transmission Mount
On Monday we are starting off with Prop-shaft bearing and flex disc.
However some interesting developments today. I had to pop to the shops this lunchtime and I started the car, put into Drive and handbrake down and the car wouldn't move. I have come across this issue before where I am assuming the handbrake/caliper was still engaged. So pull on handbrake again and put down but still no movement.
So risked by starting to throttle up awaiting for the clang as the handbrake/calipers let go.
As I was driving to the shops I am questioning whether or not I can remember, it feels like the car is not coasting as much as I remember? Even on downhill sections where normal automatics would coast at a steady speed, the car is losing speed.
When I returned and put the car into Reverse, it feels like the car is squatting a bit more than usual. So I tried shifting between Drive and Reverse a few times while stationary, there is a definite squeak at the rear. So I am guessing even with the new Discs and Pads, there maybe a faulty caliper or handbrake shoes?
Going to ask the garage to check the rear discs/pads/handbrakes etc. on Monday as well as changing over the Prop Shaft Bearing and Flex Disc.
