Hi guys. So the decision has been made (forced) The axle is coming out and going to a specialist in Preston who says he can turn it around in 2 to 3 days. I'll have another chat with him. But I did manage to win a rev counter on e-bay. I'll let you know. Cheers Phil D.

Hi guys. Thanks for that. I'll give Nige a bell and see wot he has. Cheers Phil D.

Hi guys. Sorry I missed that reply. I'll check it out next week. Cheers Phil D.

Hi guys. What have I done ? All I want is an axle. Tee Hee.Could do to get it sorted before the NEC. Cheers Phil D.

Hi guys. Your help is much appreciated. Yes it's definately a v6 coupe with o/d. The ratio that I quoted is in my copy of the workshop manual. Cheers Phil D.

Hi there. My axle howls like a monkey with it's nuts in a grinder. I can check the ratio (v6 overdrive ) Nigel says there is more than one width of axle. seems strange More confusion. I'd be grateful for any further info. Holdup....my book says 3.58:1 Cheers Phil D.

Hi guys. I did the same this morning. He must think there's something going on. I'll have to measure mine to make sure. Thanks for that Brian. Cheers Phil D.

Hi guys. Anyone got a rev counter ( good obviously ) for sale. For coupe v6. Cheers Phil D.

Ok Brian. I'll keep trying. Cheers Phil D.

Hi there. Thanks for your reply. Sorry for the slow response but been busy. Will this fit and is it the right ratio and is it quiet ? If so then I'm very interested. Thanks again. Cheers Phil D.

Hold the presses. Vin plate says 400407 and E139 Hope that is of some help. Cheers Phil D.

Hi Guys That's the number on the v5 and on previous MOT's That's all I can find. I'll check again later. Cheers Phil D.

Oops nearly forgot. Chassis no. 8240047. Was lying idle for 16 years before I got her. Thanks Phil. Got home fine just that noisy timing gear and about 17 to the gal. Will not be at Curbs but have entered for Oulton Park on the Sunday. Cheers Phil D.

Hi Guys JUT 434E. It's mine. 2year refurb a run round the block and then left for Silverstone (175 miles ) Made it but my poorly rebuild 40 weber only turned 17 to the gallon. I have now fitted a new 38 dgms and am sorting out the volume screws. I managed to get the electric sunroof operating again ...

Hi Guys. Has anyone got a good rear axle for a v6 coupe? Help will travel. Cheers Phil D.
