SWMBO`s daewoo matiz (horrible little car) does that, every now and then it starts doing it... i plan on taking it out, putting a drop or 3 of oil down, then re-ftting it.... either that or sell the bloomin thing!

Not sure about the Disco but the RRC had a little right angle gearbox ont he top of the driveshaft.  They are made of die-cast metal and once they start to wear they are living on borrowed time.

Nice, it should take about an hour as you'll have to mount the ballasts first.  Hope they were worth the wait :wink:
