Mmmm we thought about the crank aspect. Rest of bearings really were not bad, but renewed. Fitted a Smiths oil pressure guage when reassembled and are monitoring. If she needs a crank and ancillaries then so be it.

Should anyone ever be interested the noise was.....................big end bearings. Though the main bearings were fine big end bearings had warn through to the brass. Now replaced. For the first time when driving we can hear a healthy gearbox wine and hold a conversation. Theres a small grumble und...

The layup was due to first owner being too old and gave her to the handyman gardenner who didnt drive her. Ok Richard. Are you saying its not a 948 clutch because if it was it wouldnt work with a 1098 box or if it is still the 948 clutch it can work but is likely to be making the noise? Clutch actio...

I like the idea of running in gear with rear wheels off the ground listenning for the noise. Hadnt considered that.

The noise doesnt appear when rolling in neutral. Thanks

UJ's were greased up and look fine. As she needed a new rear axle casing over the winter internals of dif have been out and TLC applied. Unfortunately we dont know what it sounded like when laid up 6 yrs ago. Its going to take few days and a delivery of gaskets to reassamble box and sump so if its s...

Thanks all. Its not the exhaust altogether too mechanical a sound a grrrr....rrrrr....rind. We will ensure gearbox steady is slack as it goes back in. We discussed the idea of it being down too harder new gearbox mounts. Thought it may influence vibration but not the grrrrrr unless they are slightly...

Dear all a request for your ideas on a niose under load problem. My friend and I bought a 1961 2 door last autumn. No MOT 61k one owner, and their handyman, whose garden it had been laid up in for 6yrs in a tent. Trailered away. It started drove into our garage in kangaroo fashion, the pedals had fu...

Sounds doable. Angle iron on Saturday it is. Cannt imagine the havoc my spaniels would cause in the back. Thanks for your help.

Thanks samurai

Do you still have reasonable access to the rear? When mounted on a frame do they adjust? The 156 was a 4 door so I dont expect the seats will spring forward to aid rear access?

Thanks Martin

Mike
Thanks for that.
Im going to look at/pick the seats up on Saturday. If anyone has any tips on making a frame up or fitting before then. Id appreciate the info.

Thanks Martin

Hi New to this and after a little advice. A friend and I (mainly the friend as hes the mechanical whizz) have given mouth to mouth to a '61 2 door over the winter. Now MOT'd, first one for 6 years, and motoring. We will be doing a long charity run in the summer in her 5500 miles, in 23 days, differe...
