@T9 0LLE @182_steve - 7 minutes is my record for getting a Jc5 fully in bits. 😂 And when I say fully in bits, I mean it!

I pretty much could've driven down to yours with all the stuff I need in the car and rebuilt your original box in less time than it's taken them bell ends to send it out!! And that would include the time it takes for parts to arrive from renault! Lol

Ah if only I could be arsed now mate.

I think everyone thought I was a liar when I said just how much of an improvement it makes tbh mate. Who's got egg on their fuckin face now then eh? Idle speed is easy to fix!!

I. Rest. My. Case.

What's happening with the original box mate? If it's going nowhere, keep hold of it and I'll open it up for you if the renparts box is shite.

Ah ok. That may well be as fucked as his original! Lol

Well that looks like it's either teeth off a gear, or it's a tooth off a synchro hub. Can't really see it well enough to say for sure. If that box has had that amount of metal going through it, expect damage to each individual gear and bearings. Personally I'd be replacing all the bearings...

@SKIDDERWOLF I'm local to you if you want the leak fixing properly. I'm only in Lichfield.

They don't work. The only way to fix that leak properly is to open the box and replace the shaft bushes and the seal. The bushes wear and allow the shaft to move around rather than just up and down. This opens the seal enough to allow oil to pass through.

They won't have done mate, trust me. It'll just be a box swap by a bell end who doesn't know any better. Lol!

Only if you change the crownwheel and pinion. Which means a mainshaft strip down as the pinion gear is part of the mainshaft.

Just elongate the bolt holes with the most meat around them. It wouldn't be ideal, but I've seen it done before without any issues.

Lol I didn't think you were mate tbf.

The preference is to get them done by someone who has experience of the f4r and the correct tools mate. If you have correct paperwork it will stand you in good stead when/if you decide to sell the car as you've got proof of the belts being done

He will be along shortly no doubt mate as I've tagged him in the post. He should be able to give you an idea.

I've been undercharging people then!!

@Daniel has a mate who does them, but he's down in Bristol area. I don't think you'll find anyone else other than Mick @ diamond motors tbh, although there's meant to be a few garages in the Brum area.

Erm, I bedded mine in by driving the car normally and doing no harsh braking for a few journeys to get a small amount of material transfer. I then went straight into 2x 120mph to walking pace stops one after the other. This is on ds1.11's that are fitted to my AG 200. Brakes are always s**t...

Unfortunately I ain't Tesco's and neither are quaife.

A 9ltr 5 cylinder diesel that the steering wheel attendant continued driving for 30+ miles as he chose to ignore a 'small knock'. Flol. What a bell end!

Not a bad effort, but I've seen worse! 😂

Too right! Nowt wrong with going against the grain!

You're better off getting pro race 3's if you want that design and 7j. I doubt you'll notice any difference between a 6j or a 7j though.

205/50 15's on a 6.5j rim. 195's on a 6j rim will be the maximum you can go though.

They all lose torque mate. But the rs2 gives a massive increase in low end torque (where you need it!!) which is what helps to make them so driveable on the road.

I made this to cover everything on mine - brake lines and reservoir included.

They give off a lot of heat as you would expect, but they also cool down pretty quickly as well tbf. Mine used to be cool enough to touch within 5-10 mins.

Yeah definitely mate

@BoostedSi fcs again? I need to see if I'm working that weekend first, but if I'm not I'll be going again I think.
