I have been chasing this misfire vibration problem all around, having said I’d be ripping the gearbox out I started. I got the interior floor pan etc removed and front prop off. Then I took the rear prop off… Well, I checked both prop shafts when this issue first showed itself, I imagined this is what it would be, but they seemed fine, hence going down the paths I did. I noticed that there is a rubber seal which was, I guess, stopping the metal and metal action when I manually turned the prop and stopped it from clunking. So either way, new prop ordered and fitted tonight. I then dropped the floor back in and refitted the steering wheel, hand break mechanism and bits so that it’s drivable for a test. This may not be issue, but I hope it is.
We visiting Kingston Lacy on Saturday, it was most pleasant though the weather wasn’t great, but perhaps it was good enough. My phone battery went flat so I’d probably have taken more photos. There is a high window in the house, maybe 8 or 10 feet tall, the glass is original and over 100 years old. I had no idea that could make such large panes back then.
