I thought exactly the same. Then I binned them and the noises were gone forever :P

Looks amazing. How much roughly are these going to start at?

Hmm yeah that could be a good idea actually. This do the job? http://www.halfords.com/motoring-travel/engine-oils-fluids/grease/comma-cv-lith-moly-grease-500g

Really really like the front end of the Megs, they just look so chunky and mean. Never actually been in one though.

I'm not sure I'll be able to get a serial number, as I think it was given on the side as compensation for another problem. The collar is lovely and smooth yeah, looks brand new to be honest. When/if I end up taking the shaft off again, I'll have a closer inspection of it. So if I put oil on...

Stop being a tart like me and get this beauty finished! :)

LOVE the look of a blue car with white 2118s. Doesn't get any better in my opinion.

Right, so I checked the car last night when I got home from work. There was no leak at all, which I was surprised about. it was as clean as anything. Thought I'd take it for a proper drive, to get the oil nice and hot/thin. So took it for a blast and stopped in a petrel garage after about 15...

Will be checking for leaks when I get in mate. And if, IF, there isn't anything since yesterday, I'll take the car for a proper drive to get it nice and hot then come back and check again. No under tray, yet to source one :)

Never ever understood the chav modding.

James has just confirmed it was new in March 2014. So hopefully it means it has the solid oil seal collar like you mention. Maybe I was imagining it when I thought it moved slightly. Fingers crossed!

Thanks mate. Fingers crossed I don't have a leak for starters. But if I do, fingers crossed the warranty will still cover me. Still the aggro of getting the diff out of the box and getting it to them, but I can cross that bridge when I get there. Cheers

Would be handy if so. But I wouldn't want to say that when speaking to them, just in case it blew my chances of a fix lol. Until I knew for sure. Wonder if I can find out from a few google searches hmmmm

What a load of hassle! You probably have to be the original purchaser too right? Although James (being that original purchaser) very kindly said that he would help me out with it if it ever needed to go back to them. Guess I'll have to wait and see if there is any oil on the floor when I get...

Should it not move at all? Because from memory there was a tiny bit of movement when I carefully took the old seal off. But it wasn't free moving and completely loose. If the car hadn't been off the road for so long already, it wouldn't bother me too much, but buy the time this gets sorted...

Thanks mate. It was just done with a brush, easier to do, cheaper and easier to maintain :)

I'm praying that mate because I'm living on credit these last couple of months trying to catch up. But knowing my luck it will be this collar 😧 The fact I still had a couple of drips leak, even after I had changed the seal is what worries me. I'm desperate to get home now to see if...

That would be a right pain in the arse if so 😧 Remove the actual diff from the gearbox? Or just take the gearbox to them? The former would be a lot more difficult for me. Arghh not what I want right now.

Very interesting thanks mate. I'll have to keep a close eye on that then. What's the fix?? Although I think I might have just poured oil over the splines before taking that photo. Can't remember for sure now. What I can't work out. Surely this collar can't be fixed to the splines? If it...

Old seal New item Fitted in place. I used electrical tape and a mallet to push it in as square as possible. Then fitted the rubber o-ring right down over the metal sleeve. No pics of this.

Doesn't sound too good! What is the oil seal collar, the silver sleeve in my picture? I'm not entirely sure how old it is to be honest. It was Porkies old box. I'm told it had done about 3 track days since it was rebuilt though.

I think I need to get used to it. I'll see how it feels after my Brands track evening before I start getting it adjusted I think. I'll have a search and read of your 'how to' though. I might take that seal off you, I'll let you know if I need it. I noticed a small leak again last night...

Unless you plan on never using it and are purely keeping it for an investment then I would leave it as it is. They are hardly big modifications. More like OEM improvements. Leaving it as it is, means you can still enjoy it as much as you do now when you do come to use it again.

Can't beat fresh wheels! Looks great

Understandable that it's worth a lot more in bits! I had just missed the bit where you had decided to move on from Clios completely :) Will be following the meg thread with interest.

Fitted a new seal to the box where the O/S drive shaft connects, was a b**ch of a job getting the old seal out but got there in the end. I put 2.3L of oil back into the gearbox as that's all it had left in it when I drained it. Was 3 fresh litres a couple of weeks back, so I've lost 700cl from...

I must have missed it. But why did you end up breaking and selling the blue car mate? Last I knew, that was to be the replacement for the rusty PH1...

Are you ready for the stiffness! Not sure I'll be at the RS day. First I've heard of it, but it's a long way for me to travel at the moment.

Really hope to see you out on track at some point, would love a passenger lap in this. Been watching far too many videos about boost recently!
