Default Minor Update

Sorry for not updating sooner.
Spent Thursday afternoon with a couple of mates doing the 1st step in the process of fun stuff ahead.

For quite some time now I have had a chattering noise that I have suspected to be the Charger pulley bearing. A new bearing was ordered about 12 months ago along with charger fluid.
Finally organised with the mates to get into a workshop and do this painfully simple task to rid myself of that damn chatter noise.

Only managed to drain about 110ml of fluid from the charger after much prodding and poking round with the syringe hose. Makes me concerned that maybe the chatter noise was from a lack of fluid instead of the bearing itself.
In the process, we took the measurement of the charger pulley and found it wasn't actually a 62mm pulley but instead it's a 65mm. Don't know if this makes me sad or happy. Regardless of the fact, we swapped out the bearing, changed the fluid and put about 150ml of Jet Oil in.

Cranked her over and Whalllaaaa no more chattering noise. WOOHOO!!!

I do now however hear the most annoying sound of injectors or possibly lifter noise. *sigh*
Regardless of this fact, the terrible chatter is definitely gone and the charger is already "Feeling" like she's pulling on smoother.

Confirmation email came through from Rob at Needswings... MY PARTS HAVE BEEN SHIPPED!!!!

Here are some pics of the car for entertainment sake.



Please let me know if photos are too big or if I need to upload them somewhere else prior to posting?

More fun stuff happening in the coming weeks.
