Yep, whip that nut off. The torx is the locating stud in the box

If you want to buy a blue one, I'll give you what you paid for yours!

Get on there, 106oc or Rallye Register. All share platforms, so suspension/engine bits are all the same.

I take the shaft and hub out as one.

Welcome to French car ownership. Turn the radio up.

Yep, they'll 100% replace that.

As above mate. Connector for it behind the wheel arch liner. Give it a tug and it'll unclip.

They're front facing, in two of the three holes you can see by the slam panel seal matey. (:

1 minor snail trail in centre of bonnet. 100% would sniff.

Fuel rail guard. It's loose because the nuts aren't done up tight enough. 10mm socket. Job's a good;un.

Ouch. This is the risk of getting work done from friends really. Where in the country are you based? Long story short, i'd be finding someone on here who knows these cars well and who fancies doing you a favour while earning a couple of pennies of beer money. Second hand engine. Refit box and...

For the billies, you need one of these for the threads: Any painted areas, just use some hot soapy, you big tart.

You need much more than 4mm if you're dropping the subframe. Those 16mm front bolts need to be completely out on the N/s.

I disagree. There are good examples available for not a lot of money. They're knocking on 15 years old now! TBH, on a sub £1500 car, i wouldn't even worry about the belts. Eff spending almost half the value of the car getting them done. Run it until it goes bang. buy a second hand engine for...

This is going to be a motherfucking badass.

Exactly as above. Ebay is your best option. Be completely honest in the advert and you'll not be doing anyone a dis-service.

Wicked footwork there, but another in the camp of no need to double de-clutch! That's the beauty of synchro's! Also, would you not be more comfy with a dished steering wheel? Looks a bit of a stretch at on bigger bends?

60.1mm yep.

£13k is such a bargain for one of those. EDIT: and looking about, at that price, i reckon £2-3k under what most are up for currently! Good buy!

Best way to identify is to do a visual check for the speedo sensor. If you have a speedo sensor in the box fitted, then you need to replace it with similar. Engines are fully interchangeable between gearboxes on those, so engine change should make no real difference. It's the car that defines...

Nope, not sure at all. lol

Yep, no difference in the wiring as i understand.

Hose it down first. Assume you'll be washing it anyway first. No issues then.

Unless you're bleeding fluid that's already blue. lol.

Yep, i'd be looking at the battery. Stick a set of leads between yours and hers.

Dodgy earth somewhere IMO. I would check where the battery negative bolts to the body. Make sure that connection is clean. Then check the wheel arch earth connection is clean.

Yep, check battery voltage then the earths.

Yep, the K-tec exhausts are a nice fit. Easily adjustable to fit both Ph1 and Ph2.

Buy a car from a member on here if you're looking chap. Chances are it will have had the right advice etc. Servicing with the right info.

I'd want to buy it cheaper than that TBH. But if i was selling, i'd be aiming for that figure,
