bristol and southwest dovecote/cheddar meet

[B6lee]

The dovecote has asked for us to be ready to go in at 12:00 so if you can all be there before then if you wanna stand around and chat

 

[B6lee]

This is turning out to be huge. Anyone else wanna join in ?

 

[Dirtmatt]

Hopefully be there lol.. Bits ordered from ant today, get the bearing done Saturday.. Will take longer letting the wd40 soak though all the rust I recon lol.

Looks like it will be a good turn out, weather may not play ball

 

[B6lee]

That's alright mate. Bring a coat

You had ant or anyone check the car over to see what the problem is or just going for it ?

 

[Dirtmatt]

Be shorts weather

Was going to pop up there but not had time, has all the signs of wheel bearing gone, play in the wheel, noise when the car loads the wheel up.

 

[B6lee]

Replaced one of my front wheel bearings in November. Thought the rumble was just the tyres due to track use but no, I put a set of standard wheels on and the noise was unbearable lol

But, no play what so ever. Took a gamble as to which side but it paid off and made driving the car such a nicer place to be

 

[Dirtmatt]

That's isn't good. And a bit of luck there, caught it just as it started to go maybe?

Well I thought that as had new tyres in and seemed to be around the time the noise started, only when I jacked it up with the wheel you could see the play in the wheel. Track rod end the other side has play to.. Not sure if it was the tyre fitter when they did the alignment or its just one of those things. Was fine when ant had it end of November lol.

 

[B6lee]

No no, it had been humming for ages but put it down to tyres until I thought I would do a wheel swap to see

 

[Dirtmatt]

Haha I get you..not go on track within like that?
