I have had clicking Birfields for over 3 yrs now.
Only click while on nearly full lock and in low (aka 4x4ing)
Gotten worse when I decided that a little bit of "smoothing out" was needed
on the last CV rebuild. So much for my mechanical skills.
I carry a spare set when out in the boonies playing around but will likely
replace on my next major service a be done with it.
So they can go a long time.
Have pics somewhere if anyone is interested. Its the inner star and
encompassing cage. The balls themselves are fine.
Lal in Colorado with 130K on 1996 US petrol TLC.
Looking fwd to some cool winter weather

Subject: RE: [ELCO] Injectors
Hi All
Put 500 miles on the new injectors and the verdict? Pointless exercise
as the car is using more diesel, is less powerful than before and still
lumpy idle when cold. The injector shop are taking the car back in to
fix a leaky injector and I will get them to rebuild the IP and
completely re do the injectors again.
Also, like Chris, my Birfields are clonking more and more now,
particularly most noticeably going up or down steep bends or over rough
surfaces so I will get the bits from Milners on order and sort it out.
One rear shock is gone and now the fronts are clunking too so I am going
to do the OME at the same time. God August is going to be expensive.
I have ordered new seals from Milner even though I changed them a year
ago I think it is good insurance to replace them at the same time as the
Birfields. Interestingly I damaged the Toyota one and had to use the
Milners instead on the drivers side and that is the one is now has a
slight leak!
All the best
