From a bit of research poss worn crown wheel and pinion. and looks like a panhard rod bush has perished in the garage over winter...hit the phones for parts n prices tomoz.:Tongue1 Need to get bush done and mileage up priority for upcoming trackday...i can handle a bit of howling ! Gonna be another busy week :Hammer ! gotta put some blinds up for Mrs Boosted first else i\'m really for it! :Nono!

[boosted]

oh and code p0000 means no errors? But i have 4 ha ha air pump, abs and instruments and rear heater o2 sensor....Front end seems to be doing well.

After a sleepness night...and an early start happy to report no more clunking..no bush worn but despite tightening everyone last year it seems they had all loosened off a bit. Collectively allowing couple of degress movement..nylocks! All half a turn and threadlocked. Been for drive and its also quietened the diff...some whine but nowhere near as bad as yesterday...happy to track it saturday.

need to sell my astra....bank accounts gone from 00000 to 00....lol

[boosted]

Had a quiet week build wise been busy elsewhere fired up my part time business again to get the cash flowing back my way lol, took another day off tomoz so new tow car mot first thing and then some more running in whatever the weather! And prep for trackday saturday.

[boosted]

Run in done.

[boosted]

Not quite...gotta spend the morning at 6k max...trackday tomoz....gotta use the caddy....

[boosted]

nice oil n filter change for westory used a syringe to get the old stuff outta oil cooler. Weather looks like its gonna add some challenges.....!

[boosted]

Shortest trackday ever...punctured the sump getting off trailer....tiny hole ....going home.

[boosted]

need a new sump.....

Aint gonna make first race now impossible . Mighty :censored::censored::censored::censored:ed off . Ramps are just not long enough.

That\'s pants mate:( if the sump can be damaged coming off the trailer is it sitting too low for a track?? If you went over the curb you might hit it?

Don\'t rush anything and stay calm. A lot of people struggle with the first race of the season to get their cars there and still struggle through the season to get a competitive car

[boosted]

My fault.....prepped the car....ran outta time on trailer...clearing up the mess now...no damage to engine just a tiny hole was dripping. Engine low...50mm to ground.

its the ramps too short. ....brand new oil as well doh....:censored::censored::censored::censored: happens roll with it!

[Grant Monkhouse]

Yeh exactly, better to leant these things now than later:) have you got an anti left device for the trailer?

Maybe best to get a couple spare sumps:)
