This. Looks a bit loose to me.

Surely @Davyy the mechanic can sort it?

If you can find a manual box from either a 535/540 then yeah.

That's a steal. Break that for spares and you'll end up with a free engine and profit.

@wavo Definitely stick 12 months MOT on that before sale. I'd then be whacking it up at £3-3.5k depending on condition.

Yeah, would have been 6:30pm or so you saw it then? Approx 5:15pm near me.

Being pulled by a blue pickup. Anyone on here?

Knew i'd seen this before:

Don't bother with new leads - they either work or they don't... Injector- my bet is it doesn't like the stale fuel. Put a few tanks of decent stuff through and see if it clears up, if not, second hand injectors are only £15 each. Genuine tools only - the laser ones bend. Quickshift - avoid...

When's it going in for a gearbox rebuild? (;

Life- you're doing it right.

Oh, and if you've got the engine out, i'd be changing the steering rack bushes if they've never been done. Access is 100x easier with an empty engine bay.

Engine and box come out as one. make sure you drain the box oil before you whip the nearside shaft out of you'll make a mess of your floor. Crank seals - leave them be if they're not leaking.

Blobs of anything sticky will do the job. It's held in pretty well by the A, B and C pillar trims/grab handles etc anyway.

Yep, buy the tools second hand off here. Not that tough a job.

@Scrooge next time he's having a unit day. Hours work for that wizard.

What a find. As above, stick that in a garage and leave it for ten years.

Should be a flanged nut on the big thread in the top picture. No washers.

Don't forget to do that front hub nut up! Progress looking good mate!

If they're scabby, cut them off. Buzz gun with a 1/4" attachment notmally does the trick.

Foxy, if you're thinking 4 pots, give me a shout....

I have an engine in Surrey...

As per these two^ 195's just happen to be about the cheapest performance tyre size also

Never refitted liners on any of my Clio's. Never had a single issue.

Because car tools are gay: Cutting things FTW.

I don't mind there being breaks in the light TBH, so might just go for a couple of those small ones. (:

Even with the cheapy one linked above, it's once in a blue moon my breaker bar leaves it's home. For simplicity and speed alone, it's well worth the money.
