Don't get confused between the torque needed for the nut on the end of the pinion shaft and the measured friction torque (and the limit for this)

...also if the whining happens when you let off the accelerator then the chance is quite good that the pinion nut wasn't done up as tight as it should have been (!)

Fair enough - you can always "re-calibrate" the speedo by putting on lumps of masking tape and the speed written in felt tip pen!

I don't know how reliable GPS is in hilly areas though - here in Holland it isn't a problem of course. Next time I go to England in the car I'll see if I can see a difference in registered speed between the speedo and the GPS as I hammer it up the big hill out of Dover past the foreign truckers...

Nope - that looks like some sort of washer.

The crush thing should be part number 1083530042 - should be - I'm about 82.35% sure about that one...
