No worries mate! Very simple and effective solution indeed.

Ok so fittings arrived today so I made a start on installation and modification. @M.C.. this is where you may be interested in what I've done. I spoke with Faye at speedflow for a solution to the 1/8bsp oil pressure sensor thread. I explained what I'd got and what my thoughts were, and she...

What Lee said! Lol! I'm fitting mine to the golf that the wife drives as she does the miles on the motorway.

There should be enough space with the cat dropped down tbh mate. The bigger drama is splitting the sleeved join on the exhaust.

Sometime between now April. Lol!

I think that I managed to squeeze mine past the cat when I fitted mine tbh mate, but yeah cat off or as low as possible is the only way. If it's sleeved and welded we could be in the s**t though!!

Right ok. I'll have a look at the destructions and see what the crack is then. Shouldn't be too much of a drama though.

Lol! They're not that bad from memory. I've got the standard stiff shift. Which one have you got?

Yeah no problem mate. :up:

I'll drop you a pm mate. :up:

Flol!!

Flol! How's the gstop coming along?! Cheers mate. I'm certainly hoping so. :up:

Nothing else to see other than broken jc5's! Lol

Lol! It looks like atf, smells like gear oil. :down:

Well it's certainly a unique sight in a mk2 engine bay!

I was wondering if you'd got the wheels or not! Lol! Looks good though mate. :up:

Small update! Engine oil in and no leaks! Lol! Gearbox oil lifeblood is in also! Redline MTL. Gauge fittings arrive tomorrow. More to come

Yeah mega fuse is the way to go mate. Don't go too big on the fuse size though. 175amp should be enough. I think that's what's on mine tbh. Also, get the longacre through panel connection. Very good and not expensive. Mine runs through at the passenger side of the bulkhead. No worries! Happy...

Just make sure your wiring is nicely secured and if in doubt, cover it in something to help protect it in the worst areas. It's only there for a front end impact mate in my opinion. Sparks and fuel don't really tend to be a match made in heaven! Lol!!

Yes they will fit on standard dampers.

Unfortunately mate there isn't one, or I'm certainly not aware of one. All assuming your on about the fusible link - which I'm pretty sure you are. Best thing to do is cut it off and use a new terminal on it. The fuse is only there for if your 12v + supply goes direct to earth. I don't run one...

Loads of people on here have used acw plastics mate.

Yeah and charge you for the liberty of the fix. Lol! f**k that. Also, @MarkX still had the rattle I believe after he'd fitted it! Lol Tbh I'm convinced it's the collar for the lift up reverse, so it would be a simple case of machining some grooves to accept o rings, then sliding the collar back...

It's that rattle that kills it for me tbh mate.

How's the pms shifter? Rattle boiled your piss yet?

I wouldn't class myself as a guru mate! Lol! I do however, get enjoyment from stripping and rebuilding gearboxes. It's a curse mate! Thanks. I don't see the point in rushing the job along, then have to spend time afterwards making good the things I didn't do first time around. I also look...

That's not a cup splitter mate. 100% not.

I'll drop you a pm mate. :up:

Yeah bring it down mate. I'll pop it open and see if there's anything salvageable in it! You never know your luck! Lol

Ok mate. Sounds like diff bearings or the diff itself. I'm seeing quite a lot come through now with internal diff damage now. This could be where yours has failed and the debris has taken out the bearings.
