I could set a gearbox drip feed😄 in reality it's been dripping for a year (1000 miles or so) so if I topped it up I ought to be OK.

Do you reckon I'll get there from Herefordshire with this amount of gearbox wee pi$$ing out?

That size bolt ought to take a lot more than 40nm, must have been previously stretched

What we're they thinking! Backwards step

I've got it booked in to getvtge spoiler painted so maybe it'll look a bit better. Having just 'de-boomed' my Ktec catback, is the induction noise less irritating?

What is the purpose of this bit that fell off the lower part of the gearstick? Looks to just cushion the linkage from touching the sides.

Cheers mate, it was my fault not the bushes, I should have popped then out before I decided to go hell for leather with a bolt and two washers to press them in.

Oh! So you did then😆

However, I bet Louis didn't force the bloody things in creating more grief like I did.

I feel for him, it's taken a ridiculous amount of time and made me hate the little red shite!

Strop over! I decided I had nothing to lose in hitting it with a Mapp torch and grease to see if I could loosen it up, seems to have done the trick! Still a bit tight but I think a few hundred miles will get it to a nice point. Apologies for throwing my dummy out of the pram.

I can only see cutting the selector off to get the gear lever out as being an option now. God I'm growing to hate this car.

It's far too tight to even select a gear without a lot of force. I can't get the pivot out for love nor money.

The problem I have now is that I've got it on but can't separate the two, my fault losing my temper with it, it slipped through the first bush fine. It's far too tight for use though so I'm going to have to do something to separate them.

Right I've given it some s**t and it's begun to free up a but, hopefully it will get better with some miles on it but hell it's tighter than a Herefordian

I'm at the point of no return really, got it on but the gearstick is pretty much immovable.

There you go mate, stuck at that point. It will pull out but won't pass through and can't get the bushes out.

Ten minute job just became most of a day!

Nice day so I thought I'd perform the simple task of fitting the brass bushes from @plees . The heatshield pretty much fell apart so that but was easy but getting the selector to pass through the brass bushes is another thing all together. It simply will not go thorough nor can I get the bushes...

Ah see, you're just wrong

I'll join in then! Look at the retro image quality😄

That would have been cheaper in the long run😄

Mine did this when some idiot (me) snapped the small earth at the back of the gearbox

I used to set off for work with a towel, I undid and resealed that sunroof so many times! Other than the leak it was a good sunroof

Absolutely agree @Danith , the seats were the most supportive I've ever sat in and the shower, I mean sunroof was awful.

I was spoilt with my minty mint arctic blue I think

It's such a scruff, I'd be embarrassed to be seen😄

Thanks Russ, the little clio needs some loving and a bit of use really, hardly essential but it will smarten the bay up a bit. How's having three kids treating you?

My original Air filter box is a bit shabby which has got me thinking I absolutely need a JMRS induction hose hand filter, is it going to make much of a difference to the induction sound on a 172?

OK, I'll see what his intentions were otherwise its £500 wasted
