Hello All.

Following refitting the engine during the weekend of the 25th October I took Friday the 31st off to get the car complete ready for the Anglesey track day on the 1st November.

Typically a few bits turned into a few hours work, I also noticed the garage had fitted the new CV boot retaining clip very close to the boot itself:

Nice write up mate, bleeding the brakes in that situation can't have been fun.

I can vouch for how scary a failing CV is Yes

Great update Garry Thumbs up

Do you think there are issues with driveshaft usage then or did you just end up with a few dodgy ones?

+1 for Dan Taylors work. He sorted my 205 GTi6 out when the engine went boom. Great quality work from him and also a really nice chap. Big grin
