If you’re stupid like me and remove the starter heatsheild. this Method works for getting it back in... without removing the manifold ?. Just make sure you don’t put it in the wrong way like I did after taking the pic ? then break the clip off pulling it back out. Superglue is a magical thing...

It’s a well discussed topic on here but seriously the gearbox on the Clio isn’t a job for the faint hearted. If I were to do it again I wouldn’t take it out the bottom without having already having had the subframe off previously on said car. Couple of things to note, watch out for the heat...

Confirmed with the pin stamp on the bottom Steve ?? You called it. Seems peculiar and it’s an 02 car registered in feb 03 so it is still an early ph2

@STEVE.M that’s the connector for the speedo drive isn’t it? So odd that my speedos still working. **** kind of hit the fan last night, got my new box this morning but it’s going to be getting stripped at the weekend rather than today now. 70k 130 box and a 182 manifold for peanuts. Already...

Just physically checked for a speedo drive [1am pitch black with a torch] and I don’t have a speedo sensor plugged into anything. ? there might be a connector on the box but I just couldn’t make it out in the dark, wasn't anything plugged in anyhow. for all intensive purposes the 182’s 130 will...

Can’t say I am, had a quick google, are you on about the Facebook page? I came away from Facebook but kept messenger. Ah it’s fine you can tell from the revs and gears... kinda ? one of my motorbikes just runs a rev counter that I’ve marked to indicate rough speed. Kind of need it in the car...

“Ultra rare” ? yeah spotted that one. I’d imagine it’s pretty much the same jc5 in the sports & cups. Can’t say I’m all that clued up in all the variations of 172/182 driveline bits yet. Just what comes up with quick search.

Always the case around here ? I’m Central Scotland, Perthshire but it’s on the cusp of being highlands, some couriers charge a fortune for the postcode but others are fine. Total hit or miss. Seems to be some boxes to be had for reasonable money still if you avoid theifbay which is a relief

Kinda what I was thinking, yeah cheers for the quick response man ?? Might chase adey up if it comes to it. I’m speaking to someone local at the moment about a 182 box to see if it’s still available.

Can’t believe this is my first post here. ?? hoped it would have been the (wet side) cv boot but no joy. Two months in to owning my first hot hatch, ph2 172, 125k on the clocks. Gutted. Limped it a mile home. Fair to say this box is dead. Anyone hazard a guess as to what the cause has been...
