Would love one of these, they look amazing IMHO. Definitely needs a splitter on the front

It looks golden when it comes out but is black in the tray. Was fresh 2 months ago ish

It makes me sad mate

Not yet mate. Just made a start draining the box, removing the shafts and linkages etc. Gonna do it gradually after work until my box arrives from @NorthloopCup. Plan on replacing the aux belt and tensioner as its cracking after 2 years too

It's on Axle stands now resting on some MDF to stop it sinking into the block paving. Didn't realise it was that bad to leave it on its wheels with no shafts in. Fingers crossed no damage done or its another expense added to the list!

Didn't realise it just being sat on them would kill them. I'll go jack the car up and shove it on some stands.

Do I have to be careful not rolling the clio with the shafts out as i believe you can f**k up the bearings? Not gonna be towing it down the road, its just mainly going to be sat on its wheels but with no shafts in.

You cleaned that about 2 weeks ago Couldn't even come if i wanted to!

Looking good Paul. Be interesting to see how it compares to a whiteline. The yellow stuff will be pollen

Coreldraw is good. Easy to get the hang of and you can probably get a cheap code on Ebay

I agree, monaco looks wicked clean. @YorkshireKyle 's looked fantastic on track.

I'd planned on doing that mate. I will see how long it will take for the box from Mark to arrive then make a decision on how to proceed

I did think about this, but if i pull the engine I can drill and tap the block turbo in the future and tidy up the bay. Was just a thought? Never done a box/clutch before so wanted the best visiblity and stuff.

You felt like you were getting them half decent, then get it off axle stands and it'd be shite. Definitely no leaks anywhere so it can only point to M/C orrr a tiny hole allowing air to be sucked in from the hoses somewhere but not leak fluid

Should have accidentally dropped a screwdriver through another part of the window

You judging my mechanical skills? ? ?

Thanks all for the replies by the way!

I'm thinking of just pulling the whole engine and box then I can swap it all over in the garage. I cant get the car in the garage as not enough space. Presume this doesn't take much longer?

Welcome to the forum. Shame about screen, couldnt you see it from the inside? 200 is a lot! Couldnt you do the 75 excess on your insurance?

I've probably put about that in when i managed to put a litre of engine oil in the box and then shoved some cheap stuff in and then genuine elf again ? Seen this at £90 -...

Brilliant, cheers mate! I've seen you can squeeze them out the passenger side wheel arch by lowering the subframe and removing everything on that side. Best way to do it? I only just changed the oil! haha

Just a Valeo clutch? Are they OEM?

It's off the road now then! I was pushing my luck driving to work today. Worth shoving a new clutch in whilst i'm there i presume? Anything else recommended?

Really weird how its come out of nowhere. I've always had a slight whine in 1st but never anything like this. I will PM you about the box!

Worth getting an LSD?

Theres no excess play anywhere that I can feel. Put the wheels on and got upto 40 and you can hear the noise again. How hard is a box swap?

So wheels off calipers and discs off. Cant hear anything from inside. Presume the noise must only occur during loading which means box for sure? Noticed this but just seems like its rubbing on the fabric heatshield hence the shine. Also noticed my tracking has been good

What part of the box? I got home with it now. I've never really had any real problems with gear changes which is odd for this to have started out the blue

I'll try nurse it home! Hope it isnt the box and just a shaft. Fingers crossed
