Here are 5th gear off the shafts . Do not separate them try to keep them all together . Under the gear on the left is a gold synchro ring and spring Mark the inner hub and outer sliding ring with tipEx / paint so if it falls apart you can place is back in the exact previous sliding...

See that plastic bit at 12 o'clock in the pic . DO NOT BREAK THAT . That is 5th gear oil feed and if broken will need to be replaced or 5th gear will seize up and box with stop . See the shaft at 5-6 o'clock that's 5th gear shaft , after selecting reverse , just pop 5th downwards and hey presto...

Here are 5th gear and idler gear which need removing first .

See that little half moon metal bit , behind that is the ball and spring that holds reverse up. If you look at it you should see a spring poking it's head out up against it . Don't touch this until you have removed the 5th gear and idler drive gear which under the end cover .

Don't forget to us a magnet up against the 3rd and 4th selector rods . That should catch the two ball and springs as your prizing the casings apart .

Did I reply to you on the FB site ? JB3 box is a doddle to strip . It's just getting the 5th gear off without breaking it or even chipping the teeth . . Once 5th gear is off - your pretty much there . Only thing your need to do it select reverse gear first with the lever outside of the...

Ahh that stinks lol

Evaporator is clean ? You can see the inside of the box the evaporator sits in ? If you can then you'll see the mould and gunk causing your issues ? Research Air con bomb . Fantastic bits of kit . Best thing ever for smells and bacteria removal.

True , I'll keep looking . Might see ya , might not . Hope I do chip .

Subscribed : Another one to add to the collection Chip , how many is that now ? Will you be at the Ace Cafe Monday - need a chat with you about something I recently bought :p If you decide to rid of the roof scoop I'd be interested as I have poly windows going in at some point and I don't want...

Is anyone using any brand of quick release wheel set up ?

I'm after pics of this set up , side on pics so I can see how high it will sit further from the cowling in height , as some of you run dished wheels and others like myself run a Renaultsport sabelt wheel. On a quick release mechanism with either wheel is what I'm after a pic so I can gauge it...

All modern Cat sensors have heated circuits , when the element fails it normally throws up heater circuit , the above circuit malfunction again could just be a poor contact - I'd disconnect it altogether , see what codes come up , reconnect it and try and delete the codes . If all ok go for a...

I'd change them every 30k They cost pennies .

The door mouldings have a little screw at the end of the door - remove these and then the trim slides towards the rear of the car . With regard to the handles , those are a bit harder to remove , with the door panel off , you need to remove the two 10mm nuts that hold the handle to the door...

My one was a privilege spec - A/c and all that , roof and auto lights ect. Not sure about those wheels you have what they are ? Someone will comment soon enough Mitch. Little tweaks to the diesels go a long way . Have you looked at these threads ...

Here is the finish on having the bumpers done properly.

Remove all trims and strip for a decent job , only the best will do IMO.

Your one will look something like my old one I used to own when you colour code it . They look so much better with that done to it . Good luck with the "Mod"ing and a quick question ? Aren't those Dci 100 alloys on the one your getting. Oh and a quick pic of my best MPG . Great little cars

Good Lad

Yes I am aware thank god lol. The carrier hooks all the way round under the spoiler and literally on the boot skin [emoji818]️

Glad it wasn't fatal !!! And your here to tell this tale [emoji106] I had a shaky moment back in 08 - took the corner a bit early - ended up over the chevrons , quite a bum moment . Not been back since . Said I'd never go again . But May one day once the Bump steer correction kit is fitted ...
