You are on my level owain! Like the car!!

Apparently so, seeing as the only place you could've seen the photos is the page where I showed in detail how it was done. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Lol, it was cold enough when I was home at xmas having spent a solid 6 months at 30+ degrees. I managed to do enough to get mine running but by no means mobile.I like the Brembo's in yellow, they look very smart behind the wheels. Any pics of it on track recently? ________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

Nope, not been on track recently. It's all tucked up in the garage for the winter until I can get a new PAS pump and gear linkage ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Perhaps i missed a post - what is wrong with the gear linkage?Was the pas pump issue related to your ghetto re-routing?  I've boiled PAS fluid before, but not on the 306, on my old 220T. It was a smaller capacity system though. ________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

The metal ball seems to have fallen off the linkage bracket that's attached to the subframe, happened at Woodbridge. It still works, but there's an awful lot of give in the gearstick  PAS pump is just starting to whine, so want to replace it before it goes. Plus I've never replace the aux belt, so should probably figure out how to replace that  ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Honestly don't know, need to fix the aforementioned problems, but I'm shortly going to be changing jobs so I suspect it'll have to take a bit of a back seat for a wee while unfortunately. Who knows, maybe this will be a year of win, where everything goes smoothly and I can get back to enjoying it properly Yeah, right... ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |
