[QUOTE="gvee, post: 485037, member: 14750"] [img]http://gvee.co.uk/image.php?f=/files/photos/vw/roxy/IMG_20140323_145038.jpg&w=800[/img] Lost the ability to change gears properly on my way down to the garage yesterday. Luckily it was just the clutch cable that had come loose/stretched/whatever. Got the van up on the ramps and scurried underneath. Pleased with how solid it still looks under there :) Lots of surface rust so need to get it treated sooner rather than later. Planning a time with the manager down there to get a full weekend on the ramps and try to get my van and a mates done. Discovered the source of the grinding noise: lower balljoint touches the inside of the disk :evil: Wasn't obvious before but now I've driven it around there's a small groove cut in. Is that an MOT failure (the groove in the disk)? Unfortunately I left my Haynes at home so didn't have the necessary measurements to reset the steering geometry. Hopefully sort that one time this week. Once that's all set I can finally measure up for new shocks. The clips that hold the fuel line above the gearbox had failed so I sheathed the fuel house on the rubbing point (clutch cable conduit). I love ramp ;) [/QUOTE]
