Sorry I didn't get much chance to do more than wave "hello" Jon! And great news Tom. 

There is a Cheshire meet this week if you get the chance to come along...

[Tommygun]

Sorry guys didn't see this, yes she's running great mostly just cosmetics to get round too now.

the Cheshire meet been and gone I take it? Hoping to go the Manchester to lakes this sat  

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

It's tomorrow, Thursday, 7.30 onwards at the Whipping Stocks, near Knutsford.

[Tommygun]

Ok brill I'll be coming from heywood (taking the car to work tomorrow to keep her running as I make more adjustments to the cooling) 

hopefully see you there

[Tommygun]

Definitely see you there as I'm here, an HR early

[Tommygun]

Really great meeting you gents I'm a firm attendee 

but driving back and got near my house (thank god) the back left drive shaft sheared the lady two remaining bolt holding it in place and dropped (thank god again that I was in pootle mode and just wafting along) 

 swift use of my t-shirt and belt and she's back in the garage now ready for me to narrow my eyes and swear ALOT at it 

 

great day that ended a bit balls but ah well.

 

what was it you were saying about one thing after another Dave?  

[6carjon]

Oh no, glad you made it but a real dangler it happened.great to meet up and if you are struggling this club is the one to help 

[Tommygun]

Aye it's mint 

really lucky it was at a very slow moment waiting on traffic, its missing 4 out of the six that hold it in place 

 

two have sheared the ends of the bolts in the diff. All in all a bit balls. 

 

Ill get her on on the road in a week or so 

 

good to meet you mate

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Sorry to hear that Tom! Damn v8's and all that power

Good to catch up though, and great to have another V8 at the meets...

[6carjon]

I sense another airport tunnel run next meeting ?

[Tommygun]

I think so

sldo it's a T5 gearbox not a type 9 (I'm still learning the car ) 

and a 3.9 sierra diff 

[6carjon]

T5 are great I have one too 

Great shift compared to r380 and good long ratios for economy 

Just be careful with the slave cylinder and keep an eye on the clunch reservoir.

Can't understand how the bolts came out your driveshaft but do use threadlock when you get more.

Mine did 25000 hard miles before needing new cv joints and only then did they come out.

I have standard rear granada/cosworth shafts so you don't need uprated ones if you need new.

[6carjon]

If you need them and I hope you don't,  this company refurbished my lsd https://www.tracsport.com.

They may do parts too if you need them.
