Yes there is an easy solution. Replace ALL brake parts with new ones, and you`ll see how much your brakes are improved I mean discs, pads, hoses, etc...

Finns are crazy

Hi all! You might know that i have Volvo 340 engine conversion-project (b172-->b200e). Now i have a lot problems with it, mainly money, time and inspiration-problems :cry: I have to sell my project and change car. But im having new car from my mothers "boyfriend" :D Its Volvo 245 -86... For now im n...

Arnagath, Before you take the gearbox/diff out again drain the oil from both - if the oils are clean with no swarf or metal 'bits' the fault probably doesn't lie there. It's resonably easy to re-fill g/box and diff oils - and has been well covered in previous posts (if you search back you'll find a...

Oh yes, now I remember, once I did testdrive 300 that had rear wheel bearing busted. It felt quite ok until got to 2nd gear in, but that horrible roaring noice and vibration came then and it was clearly speed related, also turning steering wheel from left to right and back did change sound a lot, b...

This shaking does not happen when car is stopped or gear is in neutral. It seems like rpm related,well..also speed related :roll: because its due to rpm.. I might not remove propshaft,just only gearbox, because gearbox-oils are easier to change :lol: By the way..when i changed rearaxle i also change...

I was thinking of that possibility too that there is not any failure at propshaft, because this rattling sound etc doesnt come when gear is in neutral :shock: -Is there possibility that this sound is coming from differential/ rearend. If there isnt any oil, would it sound like that? -Or is possible ...

Thank you mac very much. I really appreciate this info with a lot of pics :D I really hope that this problem figures out with only changing propshaft..I will keep you in touch with this subject. I will do this operation within a month. Jtbo,problem is coming with rpm but not when gear is in neutral ...

Hi again arnagath, sorry to come back with more questions, but you say you have converted to a B200 from a B172 so I assume you have the 360 transmission and torque tube already installed ?? but have a problem with the drive quill (inside the tube), or the quill bearings, or the connector at the re...

Hi mac
Im changing propshaft, replacing broken one to new propshaft and I`d like to do that properly..Engine is b200e.

Ive changed b172 engine to b200e and ive got it almost finished but now propshaft makes rattling-noises. I do know why.. One part my own stupidness, one part tired

Do you have this kind of pictures from propshaft fitting? Im more than happy if you have it

Thank you for tips..
I`ll remove old propshaft when i find motivation for that job

What is the right way to put propshaft into b200? I have to remove my broken propshaft and put unbroken to it.. It broke when I removed technic from GLT and I hitted too hard to wrong place so bearings which are inside torquetube? didnt like that kind of hitting. Now propshaft rattles and clunches w...

i don't know, but the reinforced springs i actually had problems on compressing when i had it on the floor.. ( I weigh approx 110-115 kg....) The coils are about 0.7-1cm thick.. It fits, but not completely.. The diameter of the coil is 130mm, and the standard springs are 128mm or so.. And you have ...

How about Ford Sierra (sorry for swearing) original, not reinforced, springs? Are those stiff too?
