Weird, works here... but they are on their way to a new owner as we speak. In unrelated news, I'm racing at Mallory Park (near Leicester) on Sunday (20 min quali, 2x 25 min races), if anyone wants some free tickets give me a shout, got 3 and can probably get more. Timetable is here... http://www.barc.net/file_download/245/HQ+1317+MP2306.pdf

The sections are always a lot harder than the look, though. If you think red looks do-able for you, I would probably say blue is the best route for you to enter. I could do all the moves in red, but not first go, and not 3, 4, 5, 6 of them strung together within 2 and a half minutes - this is where the difficulty lies.

Good stuff Bet those taps haven't seen any use for a while!

Dammit, I was about to post that

Good solution Lesson learned though, always check inside the cranks before using the crank puller tool! The washers get held in place by surface tension of the grease, then when you use the crank puller it deforms the washer and it sticks in the crank... It will come out with some careful tapping, though.

Quality stuff and impressive work! Rather you than me working on that engine bay I wouldn't know where to start! What sort of power is it running then, about 350? Turbo is cheating by the way

It's an XE. An experienced eye I see, to recognise which side the exhaust and intakes are on to narrow down the engine choices What have you got then? The talk of steel cranks, dry sumps, a turbo and DTH TBs just above makes me think it's fairly potent

That's due to insufficient tension, which would tie in with everything else. Cheers for the heads up on those!

This - also if the hub was new on the first build, the spokes will have loosened off a fair bit through riding. With the hub bedded in, this wouldn't happen on the 2nd build. Out of interest, what brands were the spokes?

No, there's a pinch bolt on the left hand crank arm too. And what Dave said

I think it's held in place between the BB bearing and freewheel, by the cap on the left hand crank pulling everything together. The Atomz setup has a lockring though.

It's all about the lack of weight

And it's wrong wheel drive A shorter video from me... Curborough is TIGHT, really can't get the car opened up, but fun anyway:

Paul, could be coil packs. My Octavia (2L petrol) had a similar thing which was helped by them being swapped under warranty / recall.

They haven't been around long enough to have had 06 stuff.

Yep - ignore the directional arrow on all tyres and work out the best rotation direction for your own needs

thetrialsinshop.com? hbtrials?

Stick a new one on, if it's rough / notchy it'll be dented bearing races.

Quite possibly, and given how strong that material is it would be a good material for them to use.

Without looking at the keyboard... What the hell are you on about Woran? (Edit: Genuine LOL at the fail-typing at the end of the sentence there, haha)

Stick a bit of cardboard to your chest so you can't see down Acetone would probably take the numbers / letters off.

I have no idea what has been removed, it just looks the same to me Although to be fair I haven't actually looked at a pic of your car for months, they are usually just a blur as I scroll past thinking 'yawn'

Yep.

Seems very unlikely they'd do a fixed sprocket.

They appear to be in production, hopefully available fairly soon, will be approx £349. I assume that's with a BB but not 100% sure on that yet, details are sketchy as usual...
