Hey Andrew!
Maybe on Sat I will be in Galway or so, I don't want to be at home this weekend, too many days under the same roof. My girlfriend is a bit stressed looking for a decent job and I want to visit some nice places here in Eire, so we need fresh air and nice views/landscapes...
So on Sun I will be here again and maybe I can test the Viscous Coupling with Ross or you, Andrew...
Ill try to recharge my mobile and them Ill call you or send an annoying sms

Yeah i think your Viscous coupling is duff to be honest, Victor. We will test it though anyway. I hope it isnt.

Hi!!
I have arrived from the West right now. I had the opportunity to test the rear lock, it works okay and I think the VC is okay too, when I was turning to left or right "to the end" the car was doing strange "shakings" and I think/heard one of these times one of the front wheels were slipping...
So now we are really tired and tomorrow maybe if Andrew is going to be at home we can chat for a while or drink a nicely a warm coffee!!
By the way... the "Spasyncro" behaviour has been incredible, no overheatings, just eating diesel! But I think yet the Turbo "metallic" sound is not so normal...

Well if the vans juddering when doing tight turns and it feels like the front wheels are slipping it means you have drive to the front wheels, which is good news.

No good news mate!
It is supossed the cv it doesnt work, I was testing it with syncropaddy in some places at Wicklow Mnts and the van was "climbing" thanks to the rear locker...
Now I have to search for a new or reconditioned VC... we were talking about steel rims but on 15" and install a set of new tires...

Syncronutz should be able to help with the VC. Get in touch with Russel or McGill on here.

Mercedes Part Number: 210400 02020 off C-class.
6.5J x 15H2 ET37 part number
Whole of spec is stamped onto rim near stud holes, always black, can take some stick and be knocked back out quite easily.
Look on eBay, twice now got a set for around £20, oftentimes with tyres to be sold off too...
VC...
Are you
sure it's naff?
