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
