Well I had a failure, only the one - play in the OSF lower arm outer balljoint, which turned out to be a worn hub lower clamp. All rectified now and another year's motoring hopefully to look forward to.
Can't believe I missed it as I always give the car a good check over before the annual test. |

We are on gas rationing here (British Columbia) due to the recent floods and are only allowed 30L per fill. I had the ZT-T out to drop my daughter off so took advantage of the trip to top it off. Every time I drive that car I get a big grin on my face. It is so nice and tight you would think it is a new car. (Certainly more free of rattles and a better ride than our 2020 Subaru!
I also got a confirmation from FEDEX that my order from DMGRS is on it's way. It's going to be like Christmas when that lot arrives!

I gave up trying to undo the crank pulley bolt and put it all back together, I'll have to take it to a garage for them to do it, I just have to find someone now tho.

Whilst sat waiting to find a parking place at a nearby supermarket , I felt the rear of the car give a little nudge ? Looking in the mirror to check if someone had bumped me but no one was there ! As I moved I heard the occasional knock from the exhaust so I pulled in to see the strap had given up causing the box to fall.
Once home , on my cold windy drive , I managed to fit a strap that I had started to make earlier this year as an experiment but I had to improvise it's fitting by using a couple of jubilee clips to attach it at the top but we are good to go until the spring I hope. |

Popped up to Leeds at HarryM1BYT's amazing invitation, to be supervised whilst changing my handbrake compensator for one of his modified ones he still had. The supervisor soon became supervising assistant as he didn't have all day!😬 Handbrake now locks the back wheels with little effort (not that I need it to..).
Thanks Harry - a great guy who was the original inventor of the compensator mod and who generously gave his time and effort to forum members over the years supplying them free of charge. (He no longer produces them.) Dougie.
