Mark Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Got the front axle back together last night (finshed about 11 when I decided there was too much rain and not enough dinner happening). Still got the rear axle to do, propshafts to connect and ep90 to insert into lots of places. Also got to fit the new alternator, cut-out and contactor for the winch. Put wheels back on, and hope that the centre-diff survived last weekends differential carnage... Not a huge amount by the standards of this place, but more than I wanted to be doing the day before the event! laters Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSN Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I live near Banbury and work in Gaydon regularly so might be near Lewis seeing his locations (many locations so maybe doesn't like to be traced!). I will be down at MWWC (seeing as I am teamed up with Tony!) so could maybe help. I will have a car though so may need to see about sizes of parts. Not normally an issue except swopping with a colleague who needs my estate so I have his Alfa 159 saloon for the weekend. Let me know. I will be heading down Saturday afternoon at some point and driving back up after the event on Sunday. Cheers, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSN Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 What size of simex? Can quickly check the size of the door or boot openings to see that it fits! Tony, saw the mail about camping this weekend. I assume you have cleared it for all of us (James, Sticky, you and I). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 DSN and Tony, that would be fantastic - I'm at Gaydon 7am - 4pm tues/weds/thurs and 7am - midday on fridays. Do any of those times suit your schedule DSN, if not then I can come out to Gaydon in evening or whatever suits Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSN Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Lewis, Yep should be able to sort something so I will collect the tyre. PM me a mobile number and we can sort a time. Think I have meeting in LR Gaydon on Wednesday all day so should be able to meet up. Where do you work? I generally have to park in Heritage Centre so that will probably be easiest meet point. Speak next week I guess. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white90 Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Aftermath of the event for me Breakages: drivers mirror and new fog lamp lens other than that nowt else, 90 ran perfectly ok even after shoving it onto its side for a rest just 10mins into the event, a bank held it from a total flop over. winches performed sterling work faultlessly. all in all very pleased and our overall position given the entrance quality we were very very pleased with.

TJ101 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 First time at Slindon, Excellent venue,,but a nightmare i guess if wet !! Only got a hour in, before busting a front brake hose, so some time lost bodging back together with a grip etc (Thanks Nick, PM an address and will post back!) so keeped to the easier ones once we got going again,,, Well mulled the l/hand wing, plus a bent front bumper Don't know about Dan,, but i know Victor fell out the camper, when we got back !!! talk about the walking dead Thanks to Nige and all involved, and teamates Nick & Les, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSN Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Yes I am still alive. Wasn't too bad Sunday although pleased not driving a landy all the way home. Car a little more relaxed for trip home. Got back around 2045 after car change in Chieveley (return muddy 159 and get a freshly cleaned Passat back!). Saw the Alfa at work on Monday and it had done a nice mud drop in the car park so just like having a muddy landy! Monday I ached some what and sitting at a desk did not help as every time I got up, the legs were seized! Glad to hear Sticky felt the same though so not just me! Was a great event though and especially pleased with the result. Scratches and bruises repairing nicely and aches mostly gone now. Just need some photo's to remember it by. Unsurprisingly, no time to take photo's myself with JST shouting all the time. Must find the fuse for that PA system!! See you all around.

white90 Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 The angle is different but the punch was a difficult one we were the first team to attempt it so had to work out a plan of attack Thanks to Nige for locating the pic for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
