:cry: Yestersay disaster struck! My lovely R4 GTL started clunking like hell on the near side, especially turning corners, going over bumps or just accelerating. Closer inspection revealed play on the ns CV joint - I think its gone. So far as I can see (from my wrong earlier model Haynes manual) the whole driveshaft caboodle has to be replaced. Please can anyone suggest how I can source the new parts, or could I get away with a second hand drive shaft? Who could do the work? According to the manual there are several R4-specific tools needed. How much will it cost???? I have a sister in France who could send me parts, but I really need to get the car back up and running asap as its my daily commute! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Also I noticed one posting talking about leaded and unleaded petrol> Ive been using unleaded but Clementine has worried me! Some garages near me still sell 4 Star. Will that do or do I still need the lead substitute additive stuff? I could really do without a burned out valve!.
Hoping someone can help.
And thanks for the brilliant forum!
