One of the local Coupe clan popped over today with a problem and he had been feeling a thumping sensation on start up and when changing gear which was steadily getting worse, now it has failed completely.
Filled it with a liquid gasket as a temporary measure and it did improve things a little.
Hello Stu.
Upon inspection I found this to be the condition:
I would say that the firmness by sticking your thumb into the lower rubber section was similar to that of doing the same to a Tennis Ball. (You can see the marks I left in the photographs).
What would you surmise by this and the fact stated earlier concerning the 'Klonking'?
Thanks.
ps. I cannot see any evidence of Oil leakage.
