Thankyou so much Alan I am blessed to have good friends :)
Almost shame to paint it this clean so I’m not decided on colour yet

but I do like the design :D
bolts too :cool: seems straight forward enough where it goes now.

I feel another masterpiece coming on...

You are so welcome Jack.;):D Clear sounds good. nice sign wrighting by the way, not my work,I did have a wire brush in the angle grinder.;) That was my original,the spare I found was off a petrol which has an extra piece on one side because the battery is smaller.i just cut it off to fit mine:D
 
I thought that, I think I am hiding from that outcome as I replaced it not that long ago, admittedly a second hand unit. What makes it worse is based on this tyre wear, I think my old one had more life left in it... assuming it isn't tracking... I hope it is tracking.

On the manual box I could turn the front wheel using a torque wrench on the hub-nut set to 70nm if I teased it around slowly. That was with a refurbed VCU from Ascrofts. My memory is a bit crap but I think the old one took 130Nm of force and that was definitely scrubbing tyres.

I'll get back out with a knuckle bar, I don't have the luxury of a torque wrench, but a Google tells me if I can't rotate last 45 degrees, the VCU is goosed. Given my terrible MPGs recently. I think I know what is wrong. Ashcroft don't seem to do referb units anymore, so I am looking at 500 for a new one... plus 2 front tyres (only one is goosed, but only changing one also seems silly). Wonder if parts places take Klarna. :oops:

[Edit: My VCU is goosed. Currently sporting a RWD Range Rover while I source a refurb or new unit that doesn't break the bank... plus 2 new tyres... and some TBox juice. Fun!]

Ones that are gone you can stand on the breaker bar and it won’t budge, solid. They should be little stiff.
Give Ashcroft a ring to check, website says no longer stocked but you never know. £320 for brand new Ashcroft would be nice
