What an absolute *melon*er!!!!!

Broken valve adjuster at the 11th hour. Seems someone doesn't want me to go to L2B. Went to town to get some fuel, cash points are *melonsed*, drive 5 miles back home to get money, then go to get fuel again. *melonsing* tired, *melonsed* off and I still need to print off my directions.

Gonna get hammered if I ever get there tomorrow, then probably fall asleep.

See you tomorrow...

Done L2B OK in the end, major arch rubbage though, so need to remember if I have more than 1 person in the car I need to jack it up!!

Erm, Allspeed servo bar arrived, all looks OK. Thats probably it for a couple weeks now. Might get a couple of other bits soon if the money is there, or might save it till next month and buy the ECU /TB's

This car has mini_mad69 disease. Went to shops to get some alcoholic beverages after a hard days work, then felt my brakes give way. Knew exactly what it was. Wheel bearing completely FUBAR. Stripped down, rebuilt (why do things keep going wrong at half 8??) and now the bearing seems tight. It turns round so thats all I'm worried about. I'll have a proper look after work tomorrow.

Now on the lookout for a bike....

I don't suppose you know whether I should have a spacer between the 2 bearings in the hub? Luke seems to think there should be something in there, but nothing dropped out :S

I seem to remember being one when I first did mine. Just had a look through my haynes and it shows one being in there.


However on the last one I rebuilt to fit onto mine, I don't think there was one. Although im running the 8.4" hubs, but I think there the same internally.
