Yes mate lol,typical cossie diff,spins one wheel when it wants to then the other wheel joins in when it feels like it

Hi Kev

the reason why the diff does that because the Viscous coupling is fooked

it has lost most of viscosity i bet there isn't even 5Nm of pressure in the unit

the cossie Vc only had 25Nm of pressure when they were brand new so over time it will lose it's viscousity hence why only one wheel spins

Your car looked the nuts on track at Brands hatch on Monday

thanks mate was having so much fun out their, in the end the tyres were shagged so was just pissing about, cant wait to see how much different it'll be when i get some sticky rubber and sort the suspension out

was so happy with the car, ran faultless all day, went out at 1 o'clock and didnt finish until 3.45 the only reason i stopped then was because i used all of my jerry can's up and my mates one had people queing to come out, should,ve charged
