Hexaking, yeah i have about an inch of play in the rear wheel, had ago at doing it myself but have given up now, can't get the 26mm nut that hold the support for the hand brake parts in place, i've even bent my torque rench trying to undo it

Shouldn't be using a torque wrench for that, you need a proper extentsion bar, and perhaps a bit of scaffold tube to go over that ! :eek:

i know andy, i even heated it up with a mini blow torch. and bent a slide bar on my socket set. so i've given up think an impact driver might work, don't have one thought. looks like its over to a mechanic to sort

I have an air impact wrench, that may help, assuming the 26mm socket stays in one piece !

i take it that needs a compresser to run it

Make sure the nut does not have a reverse thread on it, all you'll be doing is tightening it otherwise. :rofl:

krsmayo you have pm. give me a ring i might be finishing work early tomorrow, and if you want i might be able to give you a hand. I will put my lazer cutter in the boot????

Anyone driving past Halfway House on the A127/A128 to the Southend meet might like to drop in here from miday onwards

Telly opportunity @ SEZ this Sunday

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I wasn't going to mention this, but...

 

Folks, as a result of opening my big fat gob a few weeks ago, I've become one of the focuses (or should that be focii?) of a BBC fly-on-the-wall telly programme about people and their relationships with their cars. I'm not quite sure what my 260 actually "says" about me, but in practical terms it means that I've had telly peeps filming me at home and in my Z, asking me all sort of leading questions, and generally poking around in my life.

 

(Look, it sounded like a good idea at the time, okay????)

 

ANYWAY, they're planning on filming this Sunday at the SEZ meeting too. I don't know exactly what their gameplan is but apparently they'll film me getting the car ready (I don't know either - washing/waxing/cursing the weather I suppose) and then heading over to the Halfway House. Then they film me/us standing around talking about Z's and looking knowledgable (enthusiastic/drunk/asleep etc). Then they go home with me and give my family another opportunity to continue their character assassination. You think I'm kidding...

 

So, that's it. Anyone who wants to get their car on telly is welcome to turn up. Midday. Sunday. Halfway House A127 Essex. The local Mondeo owners club (yes, really) go to the same pub so puh-lease let us put on a better showing!
