I think you should lead Dale, I draw the line at following an MG

I'll follow on behind at a safe distance.

Actually, its brought back the enjoyment of owning a classic, but I've noticed that Morris Minor owners don't wave back!!!

Take the prop shaft joint off (mark the flanges first so it goes back on same place) -and check the nut on the input flange is tight! If not - tighten it. Moly will do no harm.

Or - banana skins have been suggested in the past, or was it the complete banana ??

Have a look at their site Dale.

Hmmm - sounds like I could do with a teaspoonful of that every morning! Maybe I'll just stick with my banana.

Edit - I notice it 'bonds ... at over 50 degC...' - so not much use in gearbox or diff where these temps will not be realised!

Dont worry too much Dale as whiny diffs tend to last a long time and many moggies have a certain amount and unless its getting really loud it should be OK.

i think roger should lead the convoy

I agree with Bill and MG only stands for Morris Garages anyway.
Bill I have heard good things about Activ 8 but is it suitable for diff's as I thought it was only for engines and gearboxes.

I use it in my diff as well, but I feel sure that it helped save my engine when returning from this years LEO run. I hadn't checked the oil at Carlisle

and when I got on the M6 the engine started to tighten up as the oil was below Min. Just topped it up and carried on
