didn't clock the price, how much?

Geoff, when you're pulley/tensioner/whatever it was went what were the symptoms? What noise did it make? Mines started making a rotational squeal/noise when under load. Just wondered if it was that going on mine...

I have had most things go tits up at some point, might just be the tensioner. Get a socket on centre bolt and see if it moves freely, or take it off its only a couple of bolts put it in a vice, it should be tight but smooth. ( no sexual innuendo intended). could be one of the pulleys if so the bearings are dirt cheap no need to replace the whole thing, if its the damped crank shaft pulley that makes a hell of a racket. Best thing is take the aux belt off and have a listen and see if they all spin freely. should be no play in crank shaft pulley get a lever on it and give it a tug.

Cheers mate, but tight and smooth, and tug means i havent taken in anything else youve said!

Apparently they are under new management and will be opening again, give them a call he was a bit cagey when I spoke to him but said they will bo open again.
Wht happend for the EA to get involved ?

they found diesel in the river aparently.(so has been said on here and FB)

good news there coming back lo

Yep I heard the diesel thing too that's why I thought it had closed. I'll give them a bell when I get a chance. Be good to have it open again I like it down there.

Getting there though still got my full caged disco v8 to play out in. Rochdale tomorrow.

Old faithful
Got bigger tyres on now though

Does anyone fancy showing me some lanes on Sunday? I'm down that way for a play

Well delivered some cabins to Corby today and by luck LZ'er down the road was selling a set of 245/75/16's for a bargain price.
Means I can finally give Mikey his wheels back



Just abound had enough room for them.......

hahah only just enough room i need you had to double stack them

well i tried some of the lanes near braintree, some of them are tight! friend smacked the front of the landy with a tree so I have a bent bumper bull bar and wing to remind me of a good day out

I went landing in Braintree for the first time in the TD5. I won't be doing that again!
