Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !, Oh Yes !,

Passed the Control Technique today.

They failed it two weeks ago on left bank emissions and chassis cracked in two places yikes

Fitted a new pais of Lambdas (Thanks you very much Paul Gray of Light Speed Manufacturing - 01423 895014).
Cleaned the chassis and took it back.
After they brought FIVE mechanics to look at it and I heard the Luxembourgisch word for 'broken' mentioned I hopped out and confronted them to which they then pointed at the welds on the rear, upper shock mount and siad "There !". I remained calm (as I had taken a sharp stick to point at things with) and explained to them the concept of welding tubes together to create a supportive chassis. They all pulled a jib, raised there collective eyebrow and then said "OK, Pass!".

You boys have NO IDEA how easy you have it !

Thats good news.

I've just done the UJ's myself. I got mine from waldon way parts. TVR power do them, as do race tech.

Mine was a H0072 at the top and H0073 at the bottom. Hope that helps.

I got mine from Power but I don't thinks there is much difference between suppliers.

Mine failed one time for having STANDARD wheels fitted.
Here it's not the (in)accuracy, it's the incompetence !!
