Hi all,

I have a 2008 D5 Manual. 113k on the clock.

Ive had a clicking noise from the front drivers wheel for ages. It transpires that the nearside/passenger/left driveshaft was knackered so I've just spent £500 replacing that with a volvo one. Ouch. Anyway, such is life.

What I was surprised to hear was the mechanic saying he believes the front Diff/Transfer box has excess backlash and is causing a little clunk sporadically.

Has anyone had this ?

I can hear (just about) a small clunk now and again when reversing up my drive or changing down a gear. Im a purist and would like the car right.

Any suggestions or recommendations for someone to look at the Diff/Transfer box ?

Im in Merseyside
