Right F.....d OFF

Just having a rant.

Meant to be taking the car down to the Le Mans Classic next wednesday, and its STILL on axle stands.

In my wisdom, i decided to replace my driveshafts and propshaft for a TRT Prop and some proper recon shafts, with the idea of achieving a better quality transmission and less vibration, and OMG what a nightmare its been.

Its been going on 3 weeks and its getting close to going away.

First the new TRT prop from Bailey Morris came with the wrong centre bearing, that took nearly a week to turn around and resolve.

Then my new drive shafts go onto back order. Finally when they turn up, they look shit, and they look different to the old ones. So i ask to get some more. They turn up today, and one is a heavier duty shaft and one is they slimmer shaft like i was trying to replace.

So i pick the best 2 of the 4, get home and guess what, one of them doesnt bloody fit. The bearing in the hub wont go on, so it must be a different shaft.

Im seething, and just want it back on its wheels, i almost wish i hadnt decided to change the bits.


ARRRGGHHH....

I feel for you as i also have had a few problems which keep kicking me in the nuts.

I think all of this bad luck is to do with the weather? Nice big thunder storm should sort it out.........

Nice and clean air is good brain food.
