306 meet on the Isle of Wight!
consisted of me having a look at toms car as apparently he just had 2 new shocks installed by halfrauds and now having a "knock" turns out, i think, it's just a settling shock. It's not a hitting knock, more of a hissing knock if that makes sense...
anywho... then went on to take apart my coilies and top mount to correct a shitty clunking i had - sorted i THINK and ended up needed a new track rod end as inevitably the old one had f*cked up and started spinning in itself, tried EVERY way to get a bolt back on, wasn't having any of it.
The talent:
"This adds an extra 50bhp" ..
The meet...
AND seeing as this was the first, it was also a record for the meet! Well dont to everyone that attended! :clap:

to get the TRE back in i find putting the jack under the joint and jacking it until you compress the suspension a bit puts enough pressure on the TRE to stop it turning

did that, tried it out of the hub to try get the nut on alone... with a pair of mole grips, even then it was grinding itself into the grips
no bother to me...

Could be a historic moment though. Might be the first pug meet where everyone who said they were coming actually turned up.
