Wish Me Luck... Please!

[Toby]

Thanks lads.

 

Toby, yep that was me, a sump bolt snapped the other day. I am using a torque wrench for all of this, but the trouble is I think these bolts have been possibly been overtightened in the past by a bodger

 

Might want to put some new ones in your clutch then!!

 

That is the trouble with not using one.

 

It's funny, when I was at colledge, the tutor asked everyone "who uses a torque wrench to do their head up?" Loads of hands went up.

 

"Who uses a torque wrench to do their wheel nuts up?"

 

No hands

 

"Obviously there not so important" he said

 

How true though, that no one does. (well almost no one!!)

Lol, I nearly lost a wheel going up the strip coz I had only done them up finger tight.

I got half way home from pod once with the car on the A frame (queen I know ) and remembered I hadn't done either rear wheel up from swapping from the slicks (cheating )

 

Fookin' ijut!

 

And Vista - GOOD BOY!!
