Cheers mate. :cool:

Cheers mate! Yeah all the hubs I do are plated the same colour and I've never been a fan personally. I've heard good things about the shifter, so it'll get its time to shine at the 'Ring, or it'll be moved on.

Lol!! I've still got to drive it uk side mate. Meeting up with @BIGASH at lakeside, loading up and heading off to the 'Ring

It's just vht engine enamel mate. After speaking with Nick at pms, the rattle is mainly caused by the shifter linkage at the box end. Use plenty of grease, and the rattle is reduced. Now I'm not driving it to Germany, I'm not worried about the rattle! Trailer ftw!!

Considered it. None in stock, otherwise it would've been green. Lol

Much better. No more gold zinc plating! I decided it would look far better if it was painted the same colour as the block and gearbox casing. More to come.

Pump mounting bracket made and pump mounted. The original laminova is now in the coolant line as well. More to come.

Yeah I was a tad annoyed when i realised what I'd done. No fear of that mate. Camera will be in the car for every lap!

Yeah it was f**king loud in the dyno cell! Lol! I'm afraid I dropped a bollock mate and booked a 'ring trip on the same weekend as CSF. I thought CSF was the following weekend. 😞

Oh and I've got the pms shifter to fit before I go to Germany!! That'll be getting a coat of black paint though first, as I cannot stand gold zinc plating!! :tongueclosed:

Cheers. Honestly, I don't know mate. It's fair to say though, a lot. A f**king hell of a lot!

Time for another little update! The new laminova is all fitted and piped up, along with the 197 thermostat. I've been accumulating a few other bits and pieces for a spot of gearbox insurance as well. I'm pretty sure that this will be a jc5 first on Cs as well?!?!What you can see here is my mocal...

Replied in the pm mate, but no the injectors aren't coded. Buying the complete car to carry out a swap over is a very easy way to do it as you'll have everything you're likely to need at your disposal.

You can't modify it mate. The plate that is! The misfire could be a duff injector or lambda as the other stuff has been replaced reading that.

You can't swap the breather plates over mate as they're different on the 172 to 182.

Unplug the loom, undo the exhaust manifold, pull the shafts out the box, undo engine mounts, drop the coolant and heave!! Lol! Bit of a wiggle and out it'll come as one. You can leave the subframe behind doing it from out the top. 172 and 182 engines are essentially the same mate yes, but the...

Billy bargain!!

Bolts will give before the threads in the crank mate. I have experience. Lol

It *could* have sheared the flywheel bolts on the over rev tbf mate. Unfortunately until it's stripped for inspection it's hard to say though.

I'd be taking @Budgie 's advice and finding a replacement engine and box mate.

Ah right ok. Well it's safe to say whatever let go has taken other stuff with it. It will have smashed the crank sensor mate that's why it won't start. If I were you I'd be getting the box off and out the way to make sure the flywheel is ok. I'd say it will be though tbf.

Well I'm still thinking clutch mate tbh as there doesn't appear to be any oil loss? 2 options really: Risk it for a biscuit and buy a box off here or eBay Or Buy one off here or eBay and have it rebuilt mate.

Flol yeah that won't have helped! Internals might be ok, but doubtful mate. The hole looks to be in the front of the bell housing?

Labour is £160 to strip and rebuild. Price of what parts it needs is on top of that. You need a jc5 130 box as its a 182, so these are usually cheaper. I find that the majority of 182 boxes aren't in bad order tbf when I open them up. I've sent a few via couriers now mate tbh.

Clutch failure by the looks of that mate. Where in the world are you? I've got a set of casings I could potentially build your original box up into.

Happy to help mate. :up:

Is the breather pipe free from oil?

Around this time next year mate. Darren Langeveld has some involvement with it if you know him?

@Sunglasses_Ron what you reckon?

I shall ask the question and see what those in orange say mate. :up:
