After significant driveshaft related misfortune in the "group of death" sprint run.... The guys were trying to rebuild with imperial needle bearings when I last saw them in the car park, then next time I went past they had disappeared... 400 miles home?  |

It made it to the pub with the volvo 300's and myself and was last seen heading north. Haven't heard anything on the other boards so I figure it got home ok.

yeah basically just reassembled with no bearings and liberal amounts of grease then cruised back it only squeaked slightly (it seemed to do better mpg on the way back for some reason ;D)

dude you got a massive cheer from us, especially when the back end stepped out you just looked so calm inside the car like you were on a slow sunday drive!!  Glad it got fixed, everyone in the crowd near me was gutted for you when it broke. |

Yeah, on journey back it was back to being boringly reliable I was more concerned about having to share the only window winder  |

Glad you made it back! and ta for transporting the wheels I'd run out of space. PS I was reading your post back in Mr M.G. Rivet-Counter's voice, if you know what I mean ;D PPS  |

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in |
