haha
give it a beasting with the new bit on, sure it be reet :D

Not giving it a beasting until I at least have got the gear linkage kit, but I can't really afford to get that right now. Got some play in the gear shifting so want that sorted for 'positive gear change'.  :grin:

Still need to get my camber and tracking done too as currently my front wheels have got 'stance'.

Mine had front stance a little while ago... had to buy a new pair of front tyres every month.

To remedy it until I could get it tracked I just loosened the hub/strut bolts and reset the camber which did a pretty good job of saving rubber.

Think I need to get them done asap, I have been running a few days like this, and have brand new Falkens on the front. Don't want to feck them up.

Yeah, whack the wheels off, loosen those bolts and tug on the hub at least that way you'll get slightly more even wear...

I really like them. I haven't driven with them properly at the moment due to camber and tracking but when they were on the valver they were superb.

Gear selection is a hell of a lot better since replacing the bracket. Just need to replace the ball mechanism to stop so much slack whilst changing gear.

Have not read it all mate, but mine deleloped a lot of slack too, it was a simple bush thing in the engine bay area that had wron out, on the arm for the geasr shif mech.. i dunno what its called, anyhow Ben victors made me a new one and that solved it. took 5 mins to fit..

not sure if your prob is same but just throwing it to you
