All depends on what it needs replacing mate really. Difficult to say until you open it up and have a nosey around.

I could've refurbed your original one for you as well!

Yeah it did! I can remember some of the max power cruises up there! Lol

I was trying to be optimistic mate. You still got your original gearbox? Or was that removed and left at clioturbo?

I had a white nova gsi and then moved on to a red Astra gsi. Don't know of the ones you've mentioned mate I'm afraid. The lad with the cav turbo also had a nova turbo in black if it's the same one I'm thinking of.

I know him very well. We were good mates at one point, but don't see him so much now. Yeah used to go up there a few times tbh as I did my college block release up at burslem college.

Ah you know him then! Lol

Lol! Can you remember a Subaru blue nova turbo?

Festival park?

Tidy car this is turning into! Nice one mate. I'd say that the paint match on the bumper is pretty much bang on as well tbf.

You need to measure each ring individually in the bore they're destined to be fitted in and take it from there. If it's too tight then they will need adjusting.

Check the linkage adjustment and also check it wasn't damaged in anyway when you clobbered the kerb a few weeks back. Check all the mounts as well for any excessive play. You never know it could be something simple or it could be internal.

Tbh your only going to get the most out of a plate diff if you've got the ramp angles set to make it very aggressive, which then makes them awful in everyday conditions! This in turn starts a vicious circle, as the plates wear faster meaning the box needs to come apart for the diff to be...

If you put any fancy LSD specific oils in most fwd gearboxes you'll find it eats the brass synchros mate. It's not designed for synchromesh gearboxes at all. Renault boxes are sensitive enough as it is.

Changing the clutch won't fix this I'm afraid mate. EVERY jc5 I've stripped has got either knackered dog teeth on the gear or selector ring or both. It's a rarity to see the synchro ring worn!

Well the first option sounds the better one to me really. You've got somewhere on offer where you can remove the box and keep the car at whilst the box is away for a refresh. Regards the diff, it all comes down to how you drive it really. I've only got one fitted in my cup now because I got it...

That's most definitely a bearing in the box that's s**t itself mate. Also interested to know what it does when in neutral or coasting though. It reminds me of my old straight cut gearbox! Lol! That used to sound broken on a daily basis.

Gearbox repair required? Diff fitting required? I'm available for both. Just sayin.

Looking good mate!

Ah much better. I'll take on challenge of chasing him down. You can ride shotgun. :up:

I could do that on a pushbike. :tongueclosed:

Run it on the oe oil mate. It'll be fine.

I was on about the rs2 xtra mate which has runner extensions. You'll not fit it behind that rad if you choose to add the extensions.

Including buying the pipe to weld on to the bottom of the rad to alter the pipe angle your looking at about £50, but it all depends on what your welder charges you tbh. You don't need to alter the bottom hose pipe btw, I just chose to do it from an ocd point of view. The differences between the...

Bmw motorsport blocks were pissed on as well apparently as well as left outside to rust. Helps to condition them! Get yer c**k out and do the biz dan!

Golf rad may be the better option for you then.

None off the car, but I'm getting one done for @Martin. that will be ready this week. Golf rad is same width as the clio one but not as tall. It's a 40mm thick core though, but so is the clio specific one. Golf rad is ideal if your considering itbs or rs2 xtra at some point in the future.

Mines a golf one mate. Piece of piss to adjust. The clio specific rads run with the oe fan and mounts

@kayzee this is the 3rd earth point I'm on about.

I'd say that your issue is the gearbox to chassis earth.
