As I was driving home from work I saw an Iceburg 1*2 in Stratford upon Avon, I was driving out of the town on the A3400 (Birmingham Rd) and you were driving in.

I'll try another spotted thread, not that anyone replies, lol ;) I saw a very nice RB 182 (cup?) no stripes, at 6:20pm driving southbound on the A46 Coventry end, you wont have seen me as I was in an old Mondeo shed going in the opposite direction.

You've not had much experience with Renault have you. LOL

Glad to hear you've got it sorted, but if I were you i'd be looking for a new sump and get them swapped as soon as possible.

I especially like the piss yellow grills that don't match, and why has he put a shelf on the boot? :S Horrendous!!

I've not changed mine myself but from searching previous post on here, the gearbox oil change procedure is as follows, Unscrew the plastic screw on the front of the box first, if you can't get that off there's no point in draining it. (thats also how you check the level, it should be just...

I'll give that a go once it stops pissing it down, seeing as it's getting replaced it won't matter if it gets mangled.

It's not as easy as that though, I tried undoing the refill screw on the front the other day and it wouldn't budge, there's just not enough room to get the leverege you need to unsrew it. My gearbox went bang and I wanted to check the level but it's impossible to move, I don't know how garages...

I've heard this aswell, which is why i'll be replacing both the upper & lower gearbox mounts, and the engine mount at the same time. Worth doing imo, they're not expensive.

£3500 grand?!! That's to buy the car and have the engine work done? You could have bought a mint 172 for that, or even a half decent 182!! I'd ring them to at least see what they say.

So i'm looking for a shed around £500 to use while I save for a new gearbox/clutch/labour etc, and I thought that looks alright I wonder where it is? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3037415.htm

That's rather nice, no wait.........nice isn't the right word, I mean stunning! He's spent some serious wedge on that!!

In the for sale section they are, but i'd have no idea what condition it was in before it was for sale, ClioSpares are £350 collected from Doncaster, or £400 delivered for a box that's been tested with a 3 month warrenty. That's second hand, a refurbed box from them is £450 collected and £500...

Where from?

£400 quid delivered for a secondhand box from Cliospares with 3 month warrenty, new clutch because everyone recomends it £120 eurocarparts, Labour from Fred budget for £500 to be on the safe side. Or am I being thick and it'll cost alot less than that?

Could be worse, my gearbox exploded at 70mph on Saturday.:( It's now stuck in gear and i'm going to have to get at least a grand together to get a replacement and have it fitted. If it's got tits or wheels it'll cost you a fortune and give you nothing but sh*t.;)

I've got a set of these ready to go on, unfortuately they arrived 2 days after my gearbox exploded. LOL Did you use a vice or press to get them in, or did you manage it with your hands?

Mine did this when I first got it, the rear bounced around on the smallest bumps, and stepped out if you showed it a corner. Luckily the guy that sold it to me threw in a set of rear dampers off a 182, so I sorted it within the first week of owning it. When I removed the knackered rears they...

Wierd!!! Although i've seen far worse tbh, at least he's not messed the side skirts up or put a snow plough on the front. Tints and lights need removing immediately.:nono:

When I rang Renault the other day they said the exact oil for a 1*2 gearbox was TransElf NFJ 75W80 GL-4, but 75W90 will do aswell, just make sure it's GL4, I asked the same question the other day. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?592632-Question-about-gearbox-oil

OK, will do, cheers for the help lads.

I haven't got an extention long enough in my socket set to reach the battery clamp, if I just disconnect the positve terminal aswell will that be good enough, or should I just gets an extention from Halfords and whip it out anyway?

I did that before and the door open 'beeeeeeeep' went off even though the battery was disconnected, I just did it again and i've managed to lock it all then disconnect the negative terminal, the 'beeeeeeeep' was sounding, I shut the bonnet and it shut up. So I though job done, I unlocked the...

Is it easy to do if you have no clue what you're doing? lol

My car's going to be sitting on my drive for a few months due to a broken gearbox. I've disconnected the battery so it doesn't go flat, but obviously I can't lock the boot. The only thing of value in the car is the HU, which I might end up sticking in whatever shed I buy in the mean time...

Following on from my broken gearbox thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?593141-BANG!!-amp-the-gearbox-is-gone. I had a quick look at it today and it's covered in crap that could be the gearbox oil, the only thing is I think it might have been there for a while as it's half...

The sump tray was wet with oil when the engine oil was changed last week, as was everything under the sump tray, but it didn't seem like loads, which is why I thught it was a leaking rocker cover bolt, as I found one that wasn't tight and was weeping, so I sealed it and thought job done. I'd...

As I spent an hour and a half sitting waiting for recovery on a grass verge of a roundabout off the A46, all that was going through my mind was 'BLOODY FRENCH!!':mad: But I guess you can't have that much fun and enjoyment out of a car without a little pain every now and again. I also...

Well I rang BTM Fred the other day about my grindy second gear and he recommended rebuilding my existing box as he thought it was just a sellector, but after todays destruction I think i'll just get a £400 quid box delivered from ClioSpares, buy a new clutch and just have them swapped. Then...

I hope not as it could get expensive, although I know i'm looking at the best part of a grand to get it sorted. It's a good car with a strong engine and apart from todays gearbox nightmare, there's nothing really wrong with it.
