Had a bang noise from the diff so I opened the van of worms
1 stripped out the diff and the rest of the stuff that gets in the way
Dropped diff off in Blackpool for a refresher
Replacement of tray bobbins old ones must have been 20 years old
Cleaned the pipe as it was caked in diff oil
Replaced fuel pipes on tank/ pump and return to tank
Picked diff back up from Blackpool
Now looking good and feels smoooth
Hopefully get the new pollys for the diff mounts Tuesday and it can all go back together ready for kicking Alun’s arce at the pod at the end of the month
I’ve been writing down the list of mods and improvements you’ve been making over the last 3 years, it’s been quite some spend,,, I think Daz is the one who should be concerned mind 1 stripped out the diff and the rest of the stuff that gets in the way

Was planning a respray over winter so with minimal risk had a go at wet sanding the car. Scary process but quite happy with the results.
1500 grit
3000/6000 grit
1st pass with polishing machine
2nd pass
Done
Next job is to fit a new soft top. It's going to be a bit trial and error so wish me luck!

Not many people would have a go at this.
I had a go at mine with a dual action mop, A medium cutting compound, another prep product and an expensive polish. Great results!
Better pic.

I thiink Jacko may possibly be getting his excuses lined up for next weekend.......
Not sure why he’s got a fast time coming I reckon 
"I've got no grip", frequently heard on car-to-pits radio, actually translates as "the car will only stick to the ceiling upside down for 59 minutes, not the full hour", but they make it sound like they have just discovered ice driving.
Good luck to all at the pod this weekend. A wise man will take his Rainsport 3s with him.
And his wellies.
Go into a corner with no grip at 150 mph,,,, I get their point 
Each and every driver on an F1 Grid has innate speed above all his peers in the lower formula so the bloke in the Williams is likely to be a winner in a Mercedes and they know it, these young guns are soooo fast so complaining is all they can do, they don’t build the cars.
Oh mate once upon a time if I came second I’d blame everything,,,, but me
Still do, I’m the best,,,,
They all believe that I reckon
