Plenty in the tank sir.

Cheers!

PFC would've cost you £30 tops! 😂

Lol!! Well it was your decision!! 😂 I'm parking it up now for the rest of the year. Can't cope with the mileage creeping up like this!!

Cheers Paul! I've nearly done 49k now! 🙈

That's because you preferred to go and lose your wallet in a field!

Lol really?! If you need anymore enthusiasm, look at the pics in the latest instalment!

I can relate to that when I was doing the install of my engine in the cup mate.

Well another sunny day, so another blast out!! Been to terrorise the Cotswolds today, and found a couple of places to take some pics. :smiley: Nicely bedding in those ds1.11's now :wink:And tucked away in the garage until the sun comes out again! More to come.

And an akrapovic exhaust! 😂

Lol well we will have to agree to disagree on that one then mate!!

I get what you're saying, but a Radical ain't exactly a car you can pop to the shops on though is it!

Nah. I think it's safe to say the driver would potentially sustain injuries, but the majority of these types of car are exceptionally strong, and also have cages alongside other safety equipment. It's not like it's a Saxo fitted with a big engine for example. Lol - don't ask why I've used that...

Cheers for taking the time mate! I'll be heading off out again in a couple of hours. That'll be another tank of v power devoured I imagine. Lol! I've not started my new job yet! Just making the most of being unemployed. :smiley:

😂

*You're*

Yeah but it ain't up on axle stands you bunglecunt. :kissingheart:

If you're going coilover rear I'd triangulate to the rear strut tops and the beam mounts. The extra weight in the rear end will do it more good than you realise. Ask James about his corner weighting. Assuming he can remember. Lol!

Cheers mate. Being unemployed never felt so good!!! Lol - it's on another run out tomorrow! Making the most of the free time!! Possibly Cotswolds tomorrow.

Cheers mate. It certainly turned a few heads today! You'll find that in terms of outright pace, the cup will kill it, but the 200 will most definitely knock it for six through the bends. Very composed and easy to drive fast. The last of the proper hot hatches as well - as in 2ltr n/a 4 pot motor.

I'm going to read between the lines and suggest it's sjm automotive....

Yes very much. I had an extra helping of 'awesome sauce' with my cereals this morning too. Lol

Well the AG has had a full service :spanner: at the grand mileage of 48,548. It now also has some redline mtl oil in the gearbox as well. As of now, I am officially unemployed.........until the 3rd of October when I start at sytner BMW. Really excited to get started there now! Last night was my...

Erm, I've still never seen a pair of diff bearings that have failed tbh. Mainshaft bearings yes, diff no. I can do a rebuild if you want mate.

Ackerman angle.

Honestly mate, you'd struggle to notice the difference.

f**king result mate!!! If you're prepared to take a trip down to Lichfield, I have a shaft with tripod. You'd have to get the tripod off though.

I've also never seen a diff bearing failure on a jc5! Lol!

Well the wobbly shaft is most likely because the tripod joint on the end of the shaft has failed. That means a box full of needle rollers and a lot of damage I would imagine. You're in for a full rebuild or fit a replacement box mate. I can help you out with a rebuild if you're stuck. :up:

@SharkyUK I'm sure it will all come good in the end. Try and get some pics of the bird s**t stains if you can - I ain't no detailer, but I've recently resurrected my daily golf, so I've a very good idea of what you can get away with if you use the right combo. :up:
