hi everyone..hope one of u can help me!u all seem to have a lot of knowledge on these great cars!
i have a 1997 explorer..they ran these in the uk from 1997-2001..problem is not that many garages here have a lot of experince with them as they r quite rare..especially where i live!
i have a grinding from front wheels whilst at slow speed..car park manouvering..turning off forecourt etc..
it also kind of "clunks"..sounds like a drivetrain or wheel bearing??anyone had the same problem?
also the hi/lo 4x4 lights are flashing 6 times..i understand that this indicates a fault code?
Also there is a loud ticking from the timing chain..i understand that this can be fron the pipe running engine oil 2 chain getting blocked and running dry due 2 dirty engine oil?is this true and how can it be fixed?
thank you for your time and beleive me it is much appreciated!!
