  • So I got the rack this morning.... I ordered it from the local motorfactors.
    And boy am I glad I did


    Fitted it came to connect the pipes and one has a crossed thread [emoji2959]
    Only found it when I came to connect the pipe and it wouldn't go in straight,
    No damage to the pipe so it's back to the factors in the morning and possibly another 10 hr wait for the new one.

        • So the rack is in..... but I am struggling to get the spines into the uj on the column [emoji2959][emoji35][emoji2959][emoji35][emoji2959][emoji35][emoji2959] so tomorrow I will be getting the freeze spray out and seeing if I can get it to slip, odd thing though as the other rack slipped in really easily....

              Yea theres a slot for the bolt to fit in to but it won't go. Originally thought it was a spine out but it still won't slip down.

              • They would have a master spline I would think so would only go on one way.

                • Gonna have another look tomorrow.
                  Odd thing is the faulty rack slipped straight on no messing.

                  • Much persuasion was used to get the UJ back onto the spines but it is now done and working. Tracking done and also a service too boot! She is driving really well and feels like she is excited for her journey back to anglesey tomorrow afternoon.

                    Whilst under her I noticed that one of the rubber bushes that the back of the belly pan has a bolt that is falling off. So being unable to find a part number I have taken a punt on a pair of intercooler bushes.....
                    Tps had no idea what I was on about....

                    • A few posts back anyone reading will know I took a dremel to my dash and made a big hole for a stereo with a massive screen
                      Well although it was ok it wasnt working properly so its sent back to amazon and they are refunding...
                      This left a hole in my dash so I ordered a pumpkin android 9.0 Octocore delivered within 24 hours of ordering and is filling the hole (not fitted properly but I like music whilst travelling....)
                      And first impressions are brilliant
                      It was a little more expensive than the xomax but it does a hell of a lot more! It has wifi and can use the phone as a hot spot gps yea yea yea
                      But you can down load apps and accessorise from the app store
                      It will display obd2 outputs from your obd2 via a plug in reader.
                      2x usb connections cameras and all sorts.

                      Pics tomorrow but I am happy
                      Guess it serves me right for being tight first time around.

                            Still waiting for the bushes to arrive.
                            But still haven't found the belly pan bushes proper.
