Well its been a while, but I changed the diff oil, all seemed good on 140 round trip mile run, so then put the front prop shaft back on, making it 4wd again, went to Tenby from Liverpool and the van ran perfect not one problem! so plus on the poster who said change the diff oil, obviously has a LSD ...

Didn't get round to check which diff I have, oil as pervious post said it was good for a standard or LSD diff.

The breather had a thin film of oil round the top, so felt like fumes where getting out, how doe you test the breather?

Bought 2 x 1litre of the oil and it took at least 1.4-.5 of that. I ...

Try changing LSD oil with Castrol Syntrax Limited Slip 75W 140, total cure for mine with same problem (judder under acceleration on corners only when hot after long drive ) Had unsuccessfully tried other synthetic diff oils.


Many thanks for this reply , (and all the others) I bought that same ...

All done, just gotta try it tomorrow see if its made any difference, nothing came out with the oil so I would be surprised if it was the diff?

Hi do I fill the diff so it just comes out of the filler hole?

Thanks

Nice to know, the first oil arrived today? use it for something, second oil arrives tomorrow I will change it then I have a longish drive well enough for the problem to surface again Sunday "out green laning" so find out then if it makes a difference.

After reading up on diff`s LSD and non LSD I would suspect the rear diff especially if the LSD is a clutch type, I will drain and change the rear diff oil, and see if that "fixes it" for even a short while as that would tell me it is the diff, if so I am going to ask the local garage if I buy ...

Just bought this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301204100302?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

could it be the LSD not working right? is it a clutch type LSD? vans 2 wheel drive now anyway so getting rid of the LSD is not really a concern! would that cause the power loss after 20-30 ...

I just cant believe that this is the only bongo that has ever suffered this, yet no one seems to have an idea what it is, I don`t want to go down the keep replacing parts till it goes away that's a none starter, would you not think the garage would be able to tell if the diff is shot! there is no ...

That's where its be going they have no idea what it is and want to change the diff to see if!! that fixes it,

Hi looking for a 4x4 specialist in the Merseyside or surrounding area, to try to solve this problem, anyone know of any?

Hi all tyres are the same size can`t remember the exact numbers I will check later and post, just don`t really want to throw £400 plus at it to find out its something else!.
When the front prop shaft was connected it really felt like it was the front wheels doing it, but since its been disconnected ...
