Thanks for the support Matt . Forecast was spot on unfortunately and I was intending to ' tickle ' her round due to finding play in the diff ' nose bearing the day before. I assumed it would be a -- remove and rebuild diff ' --- job when back home in one piece hopefully . Didn't fancy another front end rebuild £££££££££

Lucky for me , just after practice , Rod Styles turned up to spectate and chat. I told him about the bearing and my intention then he told me that the bearing was tapered ---- I had no idea

Great says I , I'll sort that next week . He had his van plus every tool you could think of in it and insisted he'd do it during lunch

What a star
Upshot was that my time was rubbish but not nearly so rubbish as the others in my class so this turned out to be my first ever win in the wet --- running water on track

Closest to me was 6 sec's behind and he had slicks plus soft wets to choose from . I just had the R888's which are bloody lethal on running water conditions .
That's just two events this season after the rebuild and won both

Nothing on now until the Charity Snetterton Trackday in October with Matt . Not been there before so should be fun learning the circuit
