Ahh right, well thanks for the help mate, It might be staying as it is then, i dont really wanna have to take the box out, looks likea big job to me :(

Hutchie, I think that would be to much for me mate. but a photoshop cant hurt can it :D

ARGH now that looks quite good, dont do this to me people!!!!!! lol

Yea a know they are all the way around the housing mate, but id of thought i could split it enough to clean and get some sealent in while its in the car, being supported. Im only taking about 10mm apart. Correct me if im wrong because i wont start it later lol :)

Just fancy painting it tbh, will match the black clio badge then.

it souldnt have hurt the gearbox, drive shafts can be pulled out by hand anyway, its only that youve shagged the wishbone giving it room to move out.

Wait, which bit am i actualy sealing then, am i not just splitting it where the torx bolts are on the pics above and re sealing that part?, i could do that with it in the car if so. Erm as for how long, it was all cleaned off and the pic taken the net day, with a few drips on the floor, You...

Yeh i thought that after, going to get another one and leave it standard colour :)

It seems like black is the kiddie at the moment, Think thats what its going to be. Below is how ive done the front badge and the bit it sits on, so you all reckon black at the back still?

3700 mate but i knew about the things that need doing. Its got 75k on the clock as well but only brought it to run for a year.

Im in 2 minds at the moment, ill have a look later and see whats involved. ive only got to split it enough to get some rag in and clean the face, then bang sum sealent in the lower half... ill see. have you done one before then? That drip appears daily, and i think the drive would get messed up...

Ahh sorry i thought you had shortened it yourself lol, just had a quick search online and it does mention it somewhere.. also in a reno gearbox manual it mentions the use of loctite 518. Might have to order some in at work for a "job" :rolleyes: Dont think ill take the box out if im honest...

So im ok just to leave in car, split and reseal then mate? Whats the CAF stand for by the way? Oh and off topic, i think i met up with a friend of yours, well think its you, Matty J off of here, i borrowd his car to look at the aux belt tensioner lol!

You reckon, i think ill get some photoshops done and see what people think then. If it stays black then its being painted black, i h8 it when trim goes grey if you wash it but havnt got time to black it all up.

Thought it was gearbox oil but the engine oil is that clean i wasnt 100% sure, althou it does smell like af68 hydraulic oil = s**t lol you reckon split the box off and seal it then? When you say instant gasket.. i take it your meaning some sealent or hylomar type stuff? Also, have you done...

Yellow callipers, and spray the bullets anthracite but have the 2.0 16v highlighted in yellow, Lowered... will look the dogs boll0x! tbh......

Heater matrix probly blocked, is there NO hear at all? or a tiny bit?

http://www.abrasivesplus.com/epages/abrasivesplus.storefront/485516950052fb1e27410a022f020574/Catalog/HOME Ive found these very good, ive used them a few times, and also for 6" da pads same.

bump, i need some input guys.

Thanks mate, well i tried to unclip it with it on the car and it just wouldnt come off, and i dont wanna take the bumper off really. So, when i mask it for paint ill lie with my legs under the car so i can see it properly, will get a good edge then :) still undecided what colour to go, black...

Whats that mean i noticed that.

loving the carbon :D

The black strip in the back bumper of the RS.. what colour should i do it? the cars flame red, will have dark wheels on ventually, already painted front badge black, and the clio badge on the back going black. So do i spray it satin black same as badges, or flame red? If i colour code it...

What? its a project/progress thread.. no need for the sarcasm.

Right, i whipped the intake off to replace plugs, pick plugs and filter up monday and will do them in the week, this is what it looks like. intake old plugs Then i decided to remove the front badge, and the bit it sits on and spray both black :) Re fitted, I think it looks nice...

I had a tinted one fitted on my meg coupe, cost £30 and they did it in half an hour, got a free cup of tea an biccys as well :D i think ill b having one fitted to the clio as well.

Anyone got an idea what this is that leaking? Not 100% sure if its gearbox oil or engine oil to be honest. and Thanks in advance.:approve:

Ok peeps, will get this started before i get carried away with things :) Picked up this 51 plate flame red 172 a week ago 7-06-2008, I don't like the 17's so it will be going on some dark 16's soon as money allows. The projects called bart because of the private plate its got on, and its...

expensive.

Ok pics as requested.... Thats the first tool i made, from some 3/8 key steel, this would have probly done it from the top if i had slacked the alternator at this point like mentioned in the previous post. Thats the 2nd one and i used this from underneath the car to pull tension on, made...
