No need for session based days IMHO. Enough cheap open pit day providers.

same incident from my camera !
that was the second session which the first N/side tyre gave up the car started to turn, then i suspect the tyre shed its edge straightening the car to the wall an extra handfull of lock brought the rear around power on to straighten the car...... back to the pits to change underwear and tyres  (12-06-2016, 08:13 PM)insomaniac45 Wrote: jesus, you were flying round that track fella, those tyre are well an truly destroyed yes same guy the reason he was behined is this  https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ GTI6 Info Don’t drive faster than your guardian angel can fly.

So you both fell off at the far end of the track on the same corner (don't say it's 2 corners, it's a double apex right) Greasy track me thinks.

yeah did look a little damp on that nearside!

Here i sit now with a bowl of nuts and a bottle of cider typing this......
Ive had a shit month! buying a f*cked ATB Diff fitting said Diff removing said Diff daughter having teeth pulled out having to fetch here from sussex son causing all types off hastle at home because he turned into Kevin and perry big time rebuilding said diff refitting said diff all sorts of other shit to that no one cares about but only stirs shit about, the car pissed me off as it was still pulling to one side this time the opposite way ive got a week off this week and not done anything for myself other than turned into mr grouch been really considering selling up and f*cking it all off for something newer! so yesterday i removed the long drive shaft removed the speedo drive nose and replaced it with the early box type with the shim the reason for this was.... peugeot fitted two different speedo housings 1 with 10mm protrusion preload on the diff bearing 1 with 8.6mm protrusion preload on the diff bearing the 8.6 casting is used with a 1.5mm bearing shim this adds an extra .1mm of preload to the diff bearing my thought was maybe because warn diff bearings the diff is shifting in the casting causing the pull to one side when i removed the speedo nose and measured it, it was 9.6mm with no shim HMMMMMMM! the 8.6 casting is different as it uses different length bolts so refitted the 8.6 with the 1.5mm shim torqued it up and refitted everything went for a drive yesterday and the car was a different animal, anyway wife gone out tonight sat here bored..... grabbed the keys and took Bianca out for a run 30mph speed limit, 40mph limit, unmarked copper Bastard i saw you  too many speed limits around here, cheeky overtake to some clear road, and off straight to 60mph cars pulling well and pulling straight! down the gears up the gears pulling straight Im loving the diff power through the corners and off ive had a cracking drive hairs on my arms are raised arms are tingling adrenaline is raging f*ck yeh! i know why i bought this car it makes me smile and no its not for sale! she is all parked up and waiting for the hill see you all at Pugfest  https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ GTI6 Info Don’t drive faster than your guardian angel can fly.

I can't believe all that faff with speedo housings, what a nightmare!
07-07-2016, 07:57 PM
Glad to see you have it sorted. Nothing worse than just doing big jobs with no reward like taking the box on and off.
Had clutch issues years ago on my rover and felt exactly the same, box on off on off on off. Easy to get you down but puts a smile on your face when it's all come together.

Did you change the speedo housing when you fitted the atb in the first place? How come all the trouble with different parts of housings?

How come all the trouble with different parts of housings? when i fitted the ATB i fitted it back as i took it off the gearbox came from a low mileage car and was fitted when i fitted the rebuilt engine, Ive never had it apart but who knows previous history the strange thing was, when i fitted the rebuilt diff the second time the car drove spot on no pull or anything the following day the pull was back but in the opposite direction i put that down to bearing movement so went investigating went to peugeot who printed me of a load of info but even they said put back like for like what i found was the N/S shaft puts a lot of load into the diff this would force the O/S diff bearing outer race outward tight against the speedo Nose i also found the nose to be 9.6mm not 10mm this would add 0.4mm extra bearing play/diff movement i need to look at that 9.6 nose again to see the finish as i suspect the bearing may have spun and eroded the speedo case giving the issue in the first place (08-07-2016, 05:45 AM)Piggy Wrote: Never knew that!

Cadwell is a decent little circuit, albeit a bike circuit. Used to be one of my locals and always enjoyed a trip there.
Watch out for the off camber bend near the start if it's damp! Spins many a car!
