Hi all,
in the last week or so , I've noticed that when I start and stop the car, more so on start, I'm getting a bit of a thump from under the vehicle.
Something is definitely moving.
I've been all over my bash plates and anything else I can get a spanner to and make sure everything it tight.
All seems to be.
Besides, what ever is shifting, isn't something small or at least the noise doesn't sound like it.
No particular vibrations are evident at idle as far as I can tell.
I've just clocked the 200k and its a diesel NT.
I also had a recent transmission service done which required the cross member to be removed, so i paid attention to this. Again, all good.
At this stage I'm thinking engine mounts .
this thread https://www2.pajeroclub.com.au/forum...t=48042&page=2 seemed to mention similar symptoms.
I don't think it's the mounts on the trans as I jacked the car up a bit on the cross member which supports the trans and the thump is still there.
Anything else I can check before I book it in to get it looked at ?
I'm heading away in 2 weeks for a camp and the week after for a 4wd weekend, so it needs to be sorted NOW .
Always bad timing these things.
I would try and tackle the job myself but would have to source parts and the weekend is booked installing solar panels on the caravan for the same trips.
Since I'm going to have to hand over folding stuff, any suggestions from anyone who has had it done to a rough cost ?
Any other suggestions are welcomed.
cheers Brett
