Bolted a Rotrex supercharger to it! It's a long story which involves me getting very annoyed with the VF charger leaking oil after waiting 2 months for a belt, fellow member D11PS being a good salesm

Been a bit quiet lately, so thought I'd change that and then this happened!

Because US spec front bumper! Thanks to Bennyk and star street garage for the superfluous job of painting my shtuff, can't wait to display the tailgate to all, it's a work of art!!!!

Removed drieshafts and took gearbox off the car.

Suspicions confirmed, input shaft bearing is FUBAR'd. Their is about 5mm of play/wobble at the spline.

Turning the spline creates a click that can be heard and felt every 3rd of a turn.... grinding noise explained.

Other gearbox on tomorrow and fingers crossed all will be well.

i took a qwik fit free brake check and was told all 4 discs were warped

Question is do you believe them ?? .... What are you going to do about it ?

I prefer to do my own home mechanics for peace of mind, i like to know what's what and have less chance of being bullsh*ted when it comes time for services or MOT...

I bet every car that goes in there today will have warped discs , then tomorrow brake pads that only have about 1 mile left but seeing as your there now they may as well change them for you , then on monday tyres that are just starting to wear on the inside edges and a full wheel alignment is needed !

They only care about how much ya gonna spend !
