Every now and then theres been an odd clicking noise coming from somewhere in the engine bay, i could never work out where its from, its only when im driving.

But since yesterday, its got louder... and louder and LOUDER!

It sounds like one of the cars in Grand Theft Auto... Right before it explodes.

I think its coming from my diff, and its worse when cornering. New diff time? I have a spare diff to rebuild but i just dont feel confident enough to do it.

ive just rolled the car stationary, and every full turn of the wheels it seems to do a click, do you reckon its a knackered cv joint? sorry to be thick, but are these the bits that go into the cup shaped things that go into the diff?

Itl prob be an outer cv if anything (could be the diff tho)

Grab the drive shaft and see if there is any slop in it (hub side)

ah ok!! ill jack it up in the morning and shake it to check for play *happy* i sent all the details to my old work by the way, and the photo of your van, but they want me to go down in the morning and identify some clothing in the same colour! They have lime green, or bright bright yellow but i dont think it will be quite the same!

I had the same and it was the inner cv mate, worth checking before ripping the engine out.
