Of course I have to ask you what driveshaft you went for @Will16V lol

Fair enough, was only responding to your questions/long post. We only had a real answer about these shafts on the N/S from imprezaworks car, no evidence of the drivers side one that I could find since an apparent design change. It was a gamble, but back to square one, unless you get hold of the...

Bleed 'screw' is a bolt on the side of thermostat housing

Standard! But it's all good fun once it's complete! You've learned and saved a few pennies. Sadly it usually doesn't help your attachment with the car though lol. Nothing worse than working outside in the pitch black on a car, things go wrong quickly, get yourself a plug in spotlamp or...

Get some brake cleaner around the area to clean it up and keep an eye on it closely dude, keep us updated!

Ring ring. Hi it's the garage, you've got no gearbox oil and the n/s driveshaft is made of playdough m8

I ordered at 1pm and arrived the next morning but the Alex bloke seemed very happy and helpful. I love how I'm one of the first to order 172 cup wise recently but the last to fit :(

There is no need to, as the car will be totalled the day after. Never mind/ nvm

Lol this forum is making me anxious about my J&R shafts, sat there still in the box!! Can't try them out until my shocks are rebuilt :(

@NX-STEP completely drain the box (if it hasn't by itself already), clean the areas up and refit

@LeeRS good thing you did the reset, could of ended up totalled within 24 hours like OP

Lol I mean't with oil leaks or initial shaft fitting etc?

Like that video, looks like a video game!

@imprezaworks any issues?

I really really really do hate the design, but as above, fitting the shaft in first and making sure everything is clean and not stressed is the key. I nearly stripped the threads on the gearbox the first time trying to tighten the plate without noticing it wasn't sat correctly! Idiot!

Nothing like salt in wound @MarcR™

I want a Trophy just to do this! Incredible photos and love seeing so many all joined together!

Remove bootlid sticker / wing decals Undecided on the yellow fogs / dewiper tbh, unsure if it's more of a VAG thing Pick up the litter and re-take photos :wink: but honestly it looks very nice dude :smile: Cool to buy an old one back!

No better time / car to learn on? Although it may mean you don't have a car for around a month if thats the case lol

Get yourself a pink sheet, a pizza and some tools and get cracking (Many moons ago and my neighbours probably hated me)

Unsure if these do or not, but the ones people complained about before, it was this clip....................................................................^

@Darren S

Was a weekend offer only but tbh they usually do offers all the time so wait till the next one. Or ECP had a 30% off but unsure what products you would end up with.

@Chambers_RS ?

Basically, I went to fit them, but was greeted with fresh fluid covering the whole hub / wheel arch area, which then started a puddle on the floor from one of my H&R Coilovers. Planned to strip it all down and send them off for refurbishment, but I've spent an absolute fortune on it this month...

Need to see a 2nd gear pull upwards ;)

I have no money to spare for it, or to run it, as I own 3 Renaults of my own, two of which are broken, and one close behind and the wifes Renault... But I want it!

If you get wipers themselves off (may take a bit of WD and a tool and persuasion) then get the plastics off, you'll see the whole linkage/motor etc is one unit held in by one bolt I think at the back of the scuttle theres a locating rubber bung dowel thing as mentioned above, check it's all sat...

Probably easier to just get another set of runners or the cable may of snapped/ become unrouted

Nice to see it's still in safe hands Keep it clean and mostly OE. I want a Trophy tbh but they are strong money now
