305 Dervmafia Winbus

[Sambarker]

Ok so been having numerous issues with the 305 lately.

1. Splines worn on steering rack - has been now welded solid!

2. Turbo has had to come off twice in the last month or so (an absolute fucker of a job) as it keeps snapping studs on the manifold adaptor. Obviously the weight of the turbo down the back of the engine and the weight of the 3" exhaust isn't helping!

Spent a day taking it off and a day refitting, made a temp brace to try and help out



And also the boost can decided to shit itself last week so had a spend an unexpected £40 on a new one which arrived yesterday as needed one in time for pugfest



So it's all back together now after another full day on it.

Few jobs for pugfest

-refit alternator
-adjust exhaust
-track rod ends to rebolt after welding up rack
-torn cv boot to bodge as not got time to change shaft before pugfest.

As long as these few jobs get sorted it will be at pugfest. This time last week it was looking very likely it wasn't going to make it!
