its booked in to go into the mechanic tomoz morning but was just wondering if anyone has had a simular or the same problem? and what did it end up being?

any help is appreciated. cheers.

Part time? I had it when I was under load or engine braking. When coasting it was gone. Drive shaft and rear diff. But, start with unis and slip joint on rear drive shaft.
