Trailer Winch

New winch turned up.. Much better!

 Road kill.. Yuck!

Trailer time..

My new trailer turned up.. I went for a Woodford Lightweight LWT-032.

Feels quite long on the back of the A6.

It fits in the garage ok.

Unfortunately the first load didn't go so well. I didn't felt the bed enough and it got caught.

Its a little tight on over the front edge. Going to fit some trailer board to the floor to raise the front wheels or use some shallow ramps.

I ordered a winch, not a very good one so ordered a better one to replace the below.  I winch is 100% required i'd say with a bike engined car. The clutch did not like the incline on first load.

Diff Swop

After giving the car a really good clean last weekend ready for Goodwood and Stoneleigh next weekend this weekend I decided to swop over the diff. 

Nice day, I should really be out in it, not in the garage.

Jacked up and ready to go.

The diff was still leaking, was the right decision to get it swopped out before and long run.

Wheels off, seats out, tunnel cover off.

Back panel also had to come off which I was hoping I could avoid.

Prop disconnected.

Uprights off to allow the drive shafts to come out.

The diff wouldn't come out without the cover being removed. Oil was like mug again. I was going to reuse this but think I'll treat the rebuilt one to some new oil.

Diff out.

New diff in.

Its been a long day, will do some more tomorrow. Need to get some diff oil from somewhere.

Diff rebuild with ATB LSD

Got my diff back today from David Rae Motorsport Transmissions today. Really impressed with the service he offers. He turned the diff round in a few days. I went for a full rebuild and a Quaife ATB LSD.

Overall really impressed with the service. Fingers crossed it works all ok.
