Thanks all for your advice, I’d say the movement sideways is between 1/2 ,and 3/4 of an inch, with a loud tap as it hits either side.I also noticed that after centralising the carrier the car was easier to push in the garage? So am fairly sure that this is the cause of my problem.As the car was built 30 plus years ago, and has been VSCC trialed for most years since, I’ve attached a shot of the car in 2012 competing in the Fellside Club Northern trial, you can see the amount of mud,which I’d imagine wo’nt have helped the carrier!So I’ll douse it with penetrating oil hopefully undo and clean,I doubt there will be enough adjustment left to take up the amount of play there is, and suggest a piece of rope? And a good grease may help? Thanks again Peter
