Dave_Q Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 One assumes that 320T isn't posting this from a puddle of gearbox oil next to the M74, and the beast made it home by some means or other? 320touring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

320touring Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Sorry, emergency plumbing got in the way.. After a fine repast, we drove the long* and arduous trail to Cannock And I Woollarded like a pro! The auctions were a disappointment - with but a Marea Weekend to turn my head. It rapidly snapped back when I realised it was hamstrung with a 1.9jtd rather than the sonorous 2.4 Aston Martin, Sloth in a bowl and Cavcraft 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

320touring Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 What did the Prius go for?Fuck knows, we got the hell outta Dodge! She took £50 sheets to fill And the gutty was applied in full measure. Heavy traffic from j14-19 on m6 took ages. Other than that it drove lovely, and you can drive round the issue. Sat at 70 with occasional foray to 71* GLF m9 and is hingin inside Old charter and tradition was achieved And things were seen to be going well Dave_Q and chaseracer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiC Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 SERV light on doesn't spark much confidence that the next post will be positive either! At least the squiggly box light isn't lit though. 320touring and beko1987 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiltox Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Those discs are old stock and will be made of chocolate - green box Eicher brakes are the reason people complain about them Newer red box stuff is made in the UK and actually pretty good (maybe not great for anything with a hint of performance mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

320touring Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 A big thanks to Mistah Dome for coming over tonight so we could diagnose this thing. Here's what we found: To us (2shiters plus tame gearbox rebuilder mate) and the chaps at Martindale garage, this reads like a planet gear that has thrown a tooth. dome and Bucketeer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
