"she cannae take no more jim..!!"

spectacular Ki..
tuesday isnt far away mate..

[Marksman]

Ouch, that's not a good thing!

I admire the dedication to clean all the bits up after the failure, or was that how much grease there actually was in the joint? :hidesbehi

At least it's a black and white fault to diagnose; new joint and you're good to go!

Best of luck on Tuesday.

send it to Paul, He'll weld it back as good as new :)

Unlucky mate, Tuesdays not far away tho and at least yourr car is running after a swap when mine feels soooo far away

[Paul Woods]

those joints are supposed to be good for 500bhp,so how much power is Ki actually putting out? lol

[nik]

501bhp..? just a guess..

All fixed now, drove around the perry track today with no problems other than squidgy brakes and the low fuel light coming on- v happy indeed, just a bit of cosmetics to finish now:jump:

Great news mate on getting it fixed... looks like a really severe case of ballache there ;)
