peugeot

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

What is scrap worth a ton over there?

Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Looking at that block work in your barn Rich - what type of bond is that then ? (obviously a non cement stack them on top of each other and hope they don't fall over bond by any chance?) :lol:

Potential solution for the car issue then. stack the blocks up next to it and wait for a strong gust of wind.....

So is the clutch problem down to having a bent rod? that would be a really cheap fix.

If I hold my clutch 2/3 of the way down it starts sounding like a dry bearing. If this one isn't fully disengaging is it the same effect?
