again , i painted alloys , so look ok from a distance .. but up close they are not brill ... but hey .. who cares .. i dont !

sadly my sliding door now touches the alloys again ! grrrr , as the shim has brought the wheel out a bit .. also now i have my nice solid sliding door on that dont help.

so looks like i might have to mod the sliding door AGAIN !

I have a rusty Westy for £2000 if you want one!!

ok new something big ish had to go at some point , went up north for weekend , and one way back down a1 , the clutch started to slip.

un-known how long its been in there , so better to go now then when we go for our 3 week trip around UK.

order in with brickwerks .. should arrive tomorrow .. not sure if i will do it tomorrow , or wait till thursaday .. update when i do.

also purchased a freeview receiver for iphone/ipad .. tested that out at weekend and worked quite well.

Matt

Were you over hastings/bexhill area last week? A red west drove past me looked similar to urs.

new clutch arrived from brickwerks ,

found out it was the main oil seal that had gone , as when i split the gearbox oil came out .. had a few dodgy bolts , but got it out





new clutch fitted , new seal , new bearing ... new bolts lol ... back together and driving again ...

just changed rear wheel bearing today ... had worse jobs to do .. had to nip to screwfix to get a circlip pliers ... but apart from that
all went well ...

no more dodgy noises ! lol
