What was wrong with the flywheel Andy?
Here's mine - does it look ok to you? I can't see anything wrong with it - it's smooth all the way across with no grooves anywhere. Apart from that I don't know what else to look for. (Pic from this thread). |

Visited my saloon which has been in storage since October. Started first go, ran happily for half an hour and bumbled round the yard going through the gears as smoothly as ever.
The only slightly odd bit was the fuel gauge which was showing empty when I was sure it was half full. So I'm popping back next weekend to check the sender unit. Just waiting for the nod from Mr Hobbs to take it round now. |

Since changing the front brakes last week I have had a small twanging noise from the left front.
Doesn't do it all the time and only on full lock. So today I put the steering on full lock and had a look. And I found the bungee that I had used to hold the caliper up still attached to the shock. Removed said item and no more twanging. Stan

Made a start on the fixed brake lines. My but those rear connections are a pain.
So far I have one undone (easy) and the other is being slowly destroyed. Lets hope the front ones are easier.....

Had the two wheels repaired on the passanger side. The guy said leaky valves and for good measure the rear had a nail in it again, so fingers crossed they hold pressure and no more trips for air every few weeks. Just finished a quick clean of the car to remove the guys dirty hand prints.
Did a levels check because it has not been done for a while and all OK, just needed to top up the washer fluid. Happy days......
