Thats the closest Premier Travel Inn - Oulton Parks website lists some very near hotels - but they all look posh as fuck.
And i'm sure they wouldn't want people charging through the corridors at night trying to wedgy the ginger welsh tail toucher.

So far so good - gave it death to the limiter in most gears yesterday - need to do a map check run before Oulton - the head freshen up has caused a few lean spots in the map.
Got tuesday off work to do all the final bits and bobs, brakes, fluids etc. etc.
How's your shed?

Yeh - I've taken the fooked one off - I've never actually changed a boot before - will just take it into a driveshaft place near mine for them to do it! LOL! Dont worry mate I always bring the spares I keep - used to things breaking!!!
#587
im sure the use a simple tripod end on the inner joint just take the boot clip off & the pot comes off then its just a cir-clip to remove the tripod bit then you can swap both boots refit the tripod & put the pot back on really not that bad to do
that's how the newer ones are any way never had the joy ow working on a 21-25 when i was at Renault
