Pork scratchings?

Does the breaks join together.

I think its the front half of the spigot bearing

But gearbox seems ok, no dodgy noises or clutch issues...

Sometimes you have to bang them quite hard to get them into the hole in the end of the crankshaft so that may induce cracks that encourage them to break up later. There might be a bit left which will keep the gearbox input shaft steady, But it would be worth having a look inside sometime over the next few months.

And its.... a pass with no advisories....

Really angry about the early MOT?

Maroondestroyer · Jun 1, 2018

I fitted a new turbo, whistles dead loud (weirdly).
Wasn't making boost, on further investigation (Like Sherlock Holmes), after everything I looked at on the tinterweb, turns out, the circlip on the blower end, wasn't seated correctly, thisbthebboost was escaping somewhere.
Still whistles, but makes boost. Job done

Series 1 passed the MOT today.

Mrs must be happy she want to have a drive out today. Well she needs to get fit for the trip to France

Hicap phill · Jun 2, 2018

Bit of a bummer when you're 50 miles into the joyride and it starts p*ssing down.

Then you realise that you left the rag-top and door tops in the garage ....... at home.

Or in my case, driving in the rain with a hardtop and still getting water in the footwell..

I thought I'd go out for splash in the rain, I also had wet foot wells, but I forgot the "air con" flaps were open

Previous owner sealed mine with silicon

I’m doomed to melt in the summer. He said it’s because water came in through them. Surely replacing the seals would have sorted that.

Mine are ok, if they're closed, so I'd like to think they'd be fine with new seals
