Only problem with replacing the sump gasket is the subframe has to come off, but seeing as you're replacing the box anyway you can do it at the same time.
Common leak points, Jesus where do I start?
You've got input selector seal on the underside of the gearbox, anywhere around the sump gasket, all of the cam cover bolts can leak, but tbh going from the first pic it looks like your sump gasket is leaking.
The dog kennel is going back to being a daily, I was hoping I could use the Mazda until I bought an Impreza but life has given me a bit of kicking of late, so the Mazda's getting sold to free up some cash and after the Clio's rebuild it'll be going back to dog duties and work commutes for the...
Yeah i'm going to need a decent amount to do the job properly which will add up, I think i'll give it a miss for now, having spent over 600 notes on parts i'll leave it for another time and stick with the shag pile for the time being.
All the reviews on the stuff I posted are from bikers using it to stop their arses getting hot from the exhaust, I knew £20 was too good to be true.
It's not something the car needs, just thought it would look nicer.
This stuff I take it...
The Clio's engine is coming out to do the belts and swap the gearbox, so I thought it would be a good time to clean up the bay a little, seeing as the fire wall material is showing it's age I thought i'd replace it with this stuff, it's 100cm X 33cm which should be enough to cover the bits that...
03 323F 2.0 Sport, don't get me wrong it's an alright car just slow as f*ck, the yanks got a turbo with that engine running 170bhp and the JDM version was 170bhp N/A, we seem to get the sh*ttest versions of everything over here.
It's painfully slow, 130bhp is no where near enough to pull the thing along, it's needs 200bhp, recently i've been using the Passat estate 20V turbo I got my Mum, which at 150bhp is certainly quicker that the Spazda, but still painfully slow compared to the Clio, slow cars are infuriating.
Glad to see the pie and mash people back, they're able to supply more people quicker than the pizza place so we shouldn't see a repeat of quemageddon like last year, which hopefully means more people in the beer tent earlier on drinking and watching the band, might try the liquor this year...
I replaced mine with these, they were 20 quid from a local place near me but you can get them anywhere, I had to cut and splice the wires together but that's not hard, I just twisted the two ends of each wire together then electrical taped them...
