Thanks for all your comments!!

Had a feeling it couldn’t be long before something else needed doing, and behold a rumbling noise has started to become louder!!!!

No idea where it was coming from!! So jacked it up, suspecting bearings in the back axle, gearbox, Not the centre bearing!! Was changed a few years back!!

Well it Was 6 years ago when i changed and i have done 50k with it!!

Was the centre bearing!! It is completely intact!! But as you turn the prop you could hear it sounding a bit poorly! Packed it with grease and it is silent now!!

Ordered a new one so when i ever get a free weekend that’s the next job!!

After this i think i will do a gearbox and axle oil change... Not sure if the gearbox oil has ever been changed!!!!!!!!!!

Time to find the Haynes!!!!

I will try and find the paperwork, the paint tin has paint over the code!! !!!!!
