Ahh Steve finally you have seen the light . Just ease out that old Crossflow and drop the Zetec in. Will still blow away even your old SLR (in a straight line 😬) Come join us in the iron block club

If going to Bedford watch out for the drive by noise meters. While my car only gave 96 db static it was apparently well over the drive by and black flagged on the day. OK so load's of induction noise from the webbers I was asked to do a drive by loop while they checked the noise. With being say a little easier on the gas I was allowed back out to play? Let’s just leave it at when there you should be able to see the meters quite easily and adjust your driving if required 😬

Hi Arnie might be interested. Will you be at the show on sunday and could bring it along ?

Yep sounds just like the Spax I have fitted to me 90 didion. First click position is a bit vague so just turn them both the same amount. If oneside now feels softer than the other have you turned them both the same way? Clockwise to stiffen and anti to make softer! They will just keep turning clockwise after you are past the last adjustment. Number of clicks will depend on the rear springs you have. 1 seems a bit low would try 2-4. If the adjustment has not moved in years I have heard of the valves sticking? Could be just the excuse to replace them! Edited by - steve w on 18 Mar 2003 22:47:13

Hi Steve Ummm sprints next year. How are the plans going? What events are you thinking of doing. Fancy a bit of competition from a slow old Zetec 😬 If I have the time I still fancy doing a couple of events! Drop me a line

Graham what was in your kit. I've asked caterham and have been told that my 90 DiDion can't be upgraded to widetrack without modifications ? Is this what you have done ! If so just what was invovled. Thanks

Mmmm sounds like I was just being a bit of a whimp and the plug is very tight 😬 Guess I'll go get a drain plug socket and go from there. Thanks

OK did not have time at the weekend so thought I would try topping up the Diff tonight. So how the hell do you remove the filler plug I assume it’s the one just to the right of center (from the rear of the car). It looks like a star type bit (what size) but there is no room to fit a socket. Tried with a cut down 10mm Allen key but the plug is very tight and I was scared of rounding off the socket! Stupid question time can I just pour some EP90 down the breather pipe? If I over filled would it just blow out the excess? I’m going to extend the pipe and fit a small catch tank in the corner of the boot anyway.

Good idea. I'm going to fit a catch tank of some sort. Don't like the idea of oil dripping close to the rear brakes ! Edited by - steve w on 6 Oct 2002 23:25:22

Thanks guy's EP90 it is then. Quick refill ready to chase some bike's this afternoon ! Edited by - steve w on 6 Oct 2002 15:02:18

Back to the top before I fill it with EP90 this afternoon .

Can anyone confirm that I need EP90 to refill my AP (viscous) type diff !

You could use a program like Boot magic part of partition magic. This would give you a menu on boot up and you could select dos or XP. You would need to repartition the disk to make room for the small dos partition.

I believe it's the AP viscous type so what do I refill it with EP90? Is there a nack to filling it or do you just put as much in as possible until it runs out ?

Has any else running at Rockingham lost oil out of the dif breather or do I have a different problem !
