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.

There's 3 earth points. 1 at the back edge of the gearbox, 1 at the front where the battery earths out and the final one is the earth strap between the gearbox and the chassis as pictured above mate. The earth point at the back of the box is about smack bang inline with the driveshaft and it's...

Put a jump lead on the engine and the other end on the battery earth terminal. That'll rule out if you do have an earth issue or if it's something else.

It would be easier if you posted up a pic tbh mate.

I've never seen a different set of diff bearings in any jc5 that I've stripped mate.

You shouldn't really mix and match a crownwheel and pinion mate. For maximum performance i'd opt for the gripper personally, but it comes down to personal preference. I chose the Quaife because I got it at a extremely good price.

Crownwheel bolts on mate. Also the gripper won't need servicing anywhere near as often as they've done something with the plates. It will need servicing, but we are talking multiple years, not every year.

Unfortunately mate I'm going to go bigger than the 280's if I fit 4 pots so they wouldn't be of any use to me. If i think of anyone else though I'll send them your way.

I don't own a set of brembos mate so I don't want them that badly! Nah costs are not so much of an issue as I can get bells and brackets made up for material costs + a drink. The biggest issue is that I'm not taken by the brembos. The overall design of them is big and bulky. A 300mm disc and 4...
