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

Am I likely to cause more damage driving? I've obviously driven to work this morning but can use another car after today. Dont want to cause box or bearing damage if the shaft is fucked. J&R the way forward?

I'll take a look this weekend. Am I looking just for generic play in the shaft?

Nope no noise

It does, goes really quiet but you can ever so slightly hear it still

I've recently changed the boots on them and they seemed fine. Depressing clutch surely wouldn't make it quieter if this was the issue though?

2 days ago this noise just started out of the blue. Has gotten worse today on the drive to work so my first thoughts of it being something catching has gone out the window. The noise is there very quietly on throttle, very loud off throttle, and quiet again with clutch depressed but you can...

Ahh I see. This makes sense I guess but they were available very cheap for quite a while. Might try and get them to price match on themselves from an old invoice once they get them in

Not too bad but still up there in price. Wonder when kwikfit will start stocking

Black?

Older pioneers head units are very good. I have a DEH-8400BT and can't really fault it!

Struggling to find the ad08-rs at the minute. They're available for 4 on Ebay but they're not exactly the £220 fitted price kwik fit had the ad08r tyres at.

We have one of these at work, works pretty well. Good for development work when you want a digital readout of the torque you're putting on. We never really use it to maximum capability though as use such small torques

Is that guy in a hi-vis?

Drove around with the speed limiter on 30mph ?

Couldnt handle the power
