Cheers mate, have you got a link to where you bought yours. Had a quick look and couldn't find anything.

Pretty sure its a new shaft though, if it is I'm guessing its gone before and the new shaft was the quick fix to sell.

Oh s**t I forgot to check, it was getting late so just wanted to quickly whip the shaft off to have a look. Picture @ckings6056, thanks gaz

@ckings6056 not the best pic, but if you zoom up on screen you can see the spline. Looks a little worn bit nothing terrible

Haha, well I will post up in a moment as I'm going to now the lawn then get cracking on the driveshaft again.

Guessing its a diesel? Spring type warning light is your glow plugs. Try leaving your ignition on for 30 before trying to start it. If RAC have been out I would of thought he would of diagnosed that though

I get what you mean. I'm guessing its been fine since? Was your car lowered?

Thank you, fingers crossed that's what it is. Well I'm tempted to get up early and get on it. Was the spline completely stripped?

Was that the offside shaft? I will have a look tomorrow.

Really have to do all that? Oh no, I was hoping it was going to be a simple clutch change.

Need to get the gearbox off tomorrow and have a good look

It goes into gear fine, as I release the clutch it makes a horrible grinding noise.

OK well only got chance to look at this today. Popped the near side driveshaft off and circlip still sitting in its groove undamaged. So what's my problem? Hoping its clutch but don't want to remove box if I don't have to.

OK, cheers. Thank you

Cheers, once cutting or melting tabs how do you refit it? Thanks gaz

Hi just wanted to remove this as it has some scratches on it. Is it just a case of pulling it off? Thanks gaz

I'm into my old fords and its pretty common that the leads on them use to ark due to touching, lead being old ect and cause misfire.

What leads you got, how close are they, they could be arking

Could be low on compression, who did you buy the engine off?

Sounds like timing, you sure it was all timed up correctly

Yes mate, and now I can start the ball rolling and get cracking

Well he has replied after I sent him blunt message, he seems fine and still willing to help. So that's good, he is doing what I asked and supplying clutch, oil and drive shaft. Now all I need to do is get gearbox off this weekend send it off then fit it next weekend so hopefully it will be ready...

Yes true but as said don't want to go that far, just want help as I think he owes me that at least

Cheers for the comments guys and it will get sorted regardless, the guy obviously knew about the problem and sold me a dodgey car, I've phoned trading standards and even though its private I still have rites and I have a case. Never really wanted to go this far, all I want him to pay for is...

Love the ax GT. I had 1 for a short spell, very quick for what they are.

Nice build thread, great read. From what was a cheap cup to a very decent track car. Well done, you going Clio sport show in august?

I am going to phone them today as I believe laws changed last year to protect customer, but I believe also that it is the case of it was OK when I test drove it. But to not even get me 40 miles home is a bit of a joke.

cheers mate, and yes only other clio i owned, 1.8 16v, i had the same problems, fixed it sold it to my mate and he never had any problems with it........ typical

I will give them a try, thank you. Got another quote of £295 so guessing its the going rate. Hopefully have the gearbox out this weekend

Cheers and yes I know it will be worth it, plus can't expect to buy a French car and not spend money on it haha. We shall see, it needs doing and I hope he has the decency to help out as I paid top money as he said it was mint promised me that it was sound, then to not even make it home, I think...
