for some rather fortunate reason i have a couple of lengths of 2x4 in the boot. think i was using them to hold the window up while waiting for a new window motor. and robbing grannies of course. at least i know where to look now, i'll give it a smack a bit later, thanks

can the starter motor be accessed from above- couldn't see it earlier

8hrs i was charged

hi mate, check post #65 :)

Car won't start :( It's been fine for about four journeys since picking it up. I can hear the starter solenoid clicking, and it clicks repeatedly if i keep the key held on, but it's not turning the motor. I initially thought it was the battery, but it won't jump start either. Couldn't try bump...

garage is gonna check the scrap bin to see if it's still there. apparently there's a hole in the casing where the diff caught it. still worth anything? :)

i shall enquire about it

i didn't think to ask about the old box. worth anything?

i prob would have in the summer, but don't have a garage to work in so not too fussed about sitting in the garden in this weather with a gearbox :) i've noticed it's not as smooth going into 3rd and 4th, almost like you push it into gear and the lever moves to the right a bit, like the...

car back on the road :-) rebuilt gearbox off tony - £250 clutch off andyrg - £45 clutch bearing - £20 new gearbox mounts - £20 labour & oil (inc some other bits) - £400 total - just under £750 i had the biggest grin in the half mile drive from picking it up to getting it home, didn't realised...

not got them yet

thanks to tony for meeting up with me at 6am sunday morning just off the m3 to trade gearbox for some rather crisp notes :) and to andy for the rather well priced clutch :) the garage have said they think the lower and upper gearbox mounts are ok. should i just get them replaced anyway while...

box is at garage in bits. i've decided to go for that rebuilt box from tony/burpspeed. saves worrying about what needs doing to it.

hi tony ill take that box off u

ignore that post, forgot what i posted this morning!

if i stick a second hand box in is the circlip likely to pop again?

cheers. i'm still weighing up going for that refurbished one from burpspeed. been speaking to agency transmissions, they reckon circlip popped

just been speaking to agency transmissions, they said the likely problem is that the circlip has popped. if i get another box, am i gonna have the same problem months down the road?

hi, gearbox is currently out of the car as it's busted. i've got a replacement on it's way. is there anything i should look at replacing while the box is out? i've got clutch and bearing. anything else? cheers

can you clear your PM box :)

i'll rephrase, what would delivery be for your one?

hi, what would delivery be for one of these?

that sounds uber perfect, but i've already bought one for £150 delivered from ebay. i would have taken that off your hands too. 0 miles. just sounds awesome. if this one from ebay ends up knackered i'll give you a shout.

cheers, replied :)

i was offered a clutch earlier, do they all use the same clutch?

very kind of you- that's a great offer of help! i think if it had been before i got it in the garage i would have defo taken you up, but labour at garage to this point is £160, plus recovery back to mine £30, cash for you say £100 plus £20 petrol, that's around £310 fitting and the garage...

i had thought about doing it myself. i can do most things, just the gearbox/subframe combo freaked me a bit :) you make a very tempting offer! car is currently in garage awaiting instruction. where abouts are you based?

close, farnborough, hampshire. i thought the phase 2 had closer ratios on their gearbox to compensate for the extra weight? although i wouldn't be too fussed with longer gearing, as long as the box fitted and worked the speedo

I'm interested :)
