Hi guys, long time since I posted on here. :-[
Well I planned to compete in loads of car trials this year but the buggy suffered from lots of mechanical problems so we ended up missing most of them and retiring from those we did get to as it kept breaking down.
Handbrake broke,
Gear change problems
Stalling problems
Hot starting problems
Clutch slipping
New clutch fitted - clutch still slipping
So am currently doing a complete rebuild ready for next year. I
picked up a nice 4.1 ratio crown wheel and pinion on e-bay and started fitting it today when I noticed a little wear in the diff pin. See pic. Looks like I caught it just in time but am a bit worried about all the metal filings that will have been floating round in the oil.
Am now going to order an uprated cross pin diff.
