My switch seems to be working perfectly , the switch will turn the hazards off after they have turned themselves on

My car has started doing this now , disconnecting the battery stop the hazards flashing , so your second question and answer doesn't work for me

I bought supertech valves direct from them in USA and it cost me about £280 for a full set inc delivery

If you can wait until I'm back from holiday a week Saturday I'll take more pictures of the spare subframe and take measurements where they are

I'm sure I have some pics in this thread of the mounts , I also have a spare cross member which I took pics of , I'm sure they are on here somewhere , you'll have to look sorry as I'm on holiday lol

Gearbox was finished and sent out tonight so I will get it back tomorrow , they have fitted new plates in the diff , along with stripping it and rebuilding it again just to make sure its all perfect , so should have it running again shortly. I won't get time to test it as I'm off to Tenerife on...

ah !! perhaps I should find a handbook lol , but changing the oil after every event is what we have planned from now on

Hi Mike That's the thing , these boxes were designed for a race car so fast flowing stuff , the Euro race boxes , and the ST75 box you can buy now has all the gearchange stuff at the top of the box , I guess Sadev knew about this problem and redesigned the box to cure this happening. I haven't...

Yes the photo of the sludge if from my box they took yesterday and emailed over to me , had a good chat with Steve today and what he says is making sense , the sludge is off the plates in the diff and shows the diff has been worked very hard , in Caerwent where the rally is it mainly made up of...

I see a few threads flying around where the Federals are splitting and coming apart , I was looking at these to put on my track 197 but was put off by this problem and fitted 888's instead http://clio197.net/forum/showthread.php?t=23657

It cost me around £1600 to buy and have it fitted , along with some bearings and seals Had SWR contact me back yesterday by email and they are saying the box problem was caused by a sludge given off by the diff plates slipping , they have said its loosened off quite a bit over the course of the...

Hi Renault have 2 available but they want £170 + vat each for them lol , I have seen a few on ebay for £30-£40 so will speak to these today and as long as they don't have any marks on them i'll buy a few of them , it's too easy to clip a wheel and bend one on a rally to spend £170 on them ...

At the bottom of the gearbox there is a round disc held in place by 4 caphead bolts , and this disc holds a spring and pin , the pin locates into something on the gearchange , and the pin was stuck in so wasn't selecting any other gears , once I removed this disc and pulled the pin out , it...

anyone know the part number for them ? Cheers Ian

Hi No apart from the base being thicker they are identical , if they are 182 ones its weird that they were on the bog standard 172 I bought ?? I'll try the local dealer to see if they are still on back order , if I don't get anywhere i'll make up some spacers to space off the thinner stubs so...

No when I bought my car it had the thinner stubs fitted , the thicker ones are from the 52 plate donor can I bought

Well had an eventfull day , started off well and was 4th overall after stage one , had an overshoot on a junction on stage 2 and dropped about 15 seconds , we were still in 4th place but a car ahead of us dropped out which should of put us 3rd overall but a Subaru behind us took 9 seconds out of...

I clipped a curb and bent the rear spindle on my rally car on the weekend , I have a few spare ones here , but they are different to the ones fitted onto my car , the bases of them are thicker , does anyone know why there is a difference ? When I first had the race car , it had the thinner base...

Back up and running and £2400 lighter , which was cheaper than first thought so i'm , er , happy lol Out this sunday competing in Caerwent which is the next round of the Welsh Tarmac championship , so I'm preying for rain so I can get the better of the cars 100hp more than me in class , the...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He I know people rallying who are using heated screens and they all seem to have problems with them , so although my car has been wired up for one , I thought i'd wait and see how I get on with the heater , which...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He My vents turn so you can aim them at specific area's , in Llandow it didn't mist up for me at all , it did for my son but he must have knocked the vent shut , that and he was doing a lot of heavy breathing...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He I fitted on of these on the bulkhead and ran the standard heater hoses up to it , mounted the heater inside so the heater pipes line up with the bulkhead pipes and just ran 2 small pipes to link it up...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Thats the heater I have in my rally car and it works very well

SWR motorsport is rebuilding it , as far as I know they are the only dealer for Sadev boxes in the UK , its £350 labour to fix it , the rest are parts , don't know what actually went first but the broken bits bouncing around the gearbox has done the bulk of the damage , it needs a few gears inc...

Just had the estimate for the box rebuild , needs quite a lot of parts , works out around £2500 + vat , they should have it done end of this week so I can get it back together ready for a week on sunday for my next rally which is a round of the Welsh tarmac championship

You didn't miss much TBH , thought the event was poor , probably the most boring rally I have ever competed on , just cones on a runway ! But even if you were there , if you had blinked you'd have missed me lol

Not much to update on the car at the mo , had an oil and filter change , and bled the brakes after Llandow last week , went to Abingdon to compete on that rally sunday and about 8 miles into the first stage the gearbox let go , coming back down to a tight hairpin from 6th , got down to 4th and...

Only one rally that I know of , don't know if they have more sprint series there though , you coming over next sunday seeing as your local

Yes the rocker cover holds the cams in place , and you have to remove the pulleys to take it off , how is there a hole in it ? It the engine making any funny noises ? If all seems ok , you may get away with filling over the hole carefully with liquid metal which you can buy from somewhere like...
