Some folk on the run yesterday mentioned that they wanted to undertake some maintenance/ repairs so ill offer my place as a venue. Have all tools needed.......i think!!!

Anyways, i'll gauge interest and see who wants what done and which date suits.

Sean.

fancy bringing that tech day up to mine?? on the 28th?

ive started taking off the suspension and having a bit of trouble with it as i dont want to wreck my tools or the nuts/bolts themselves. plus i dont think i have the necessary tools for it. .

howdy lads, just wondering whats the crack with the tech days, are they open to all members or ppl who know each other.

They're open to all members. It's a way of sharing skills, information and the proper tools

sorta suits the lads this saturday but we can organise one in yours later on.I have the gear needed for what the boys want to do and dont fancy loading it up to go somewhere else sat week. Suspension is handy. What problems are you having???

Hi Jay, yep , from Newbridge. I have some business in Walkinstown first, then I have to make my way to Robert in Swords ( autocheck) to collect a pair of shocks and then head north towards Drogheda for the tech day..times somewhat vague but we could meet,say, in the car park of the Red Cow Moran's hotel around the half -ten mark?? I'm on 0872656053

best order to take em out and tools to use really all i have are mostly ratchet spaners and a couple of sockets but some of the nuts on the suspension seem a bit small for sockets.. also straight after the suspension the engine is to follow

here are some pics

Well , managed to replace the shocks & springs on the mk1 while under the watchful eye of Seán and Jay..the drive home was a grand cross-country run from Clogherhead to Dunleer to Collon, Slane, Trim, Summerhill, Kilcock, Prosperous and on to Newbridge. So much more fun than the boring motorways!
Thanks again for the use of your tools Seán, you've a grand spot there for tech days...I reckon it won't be my last visit up to you
