[doc] Pivot Bolt Shocker!!

["Alistair McCann" <aclassali@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks

Tired and dirty after another day of working on "Pilot25".

I now have a properly tuned engine that hums nicely, a drivers door torsion bar that is nicely tightened and faulty electrical connector on my fuel pump that liked to fail every so often (usually on petrol station for-courts)

I also decided to check why my gear selection was so loud and clunky and the fact that you needed a map to find fifth gear!!  After jacking the car and having a quick look at the underside of the gearbox, to my dumbfounded shock I found that I did not have a proper pivot bolt at all!! I did have a bolt, but this bolt was only placed through the hole and not even held with a nut!!  It could have fallen out at anytime and left me stranded.......  This car continues to through up little problems and for a car that was one of the last six (ie "the best ones we ever made") cars finished of by the recievers I cant believe some of the mistakes they made.

I have my MOT in 3 weeks so wish me luck!!
