    Gearbox noise on idle (Gripper diff)

    Just replaced the gearbox, flywheel, clutch and release bearing last week and have a noise on idle which disappears when clutch is depressed which leads me to think its the release bearing. Unless gripper diff's can be noisy on idle (unsure if they see any rotation in neutral? Maybe a daft...

    Seats with R022 cage

    I had a mirco rts seat at first and then found out that their known for a wide fit and wouldnt fit with door bars. Even with extra holes drilled in the jon foz frames Then changed to motordrive seat which was narrower and a better fit, although still tight and still not 100% centre but miles...

    The new tool thread

    Decided on a sealey set in the end rather than forking out for Bluepoint / Snap on https://www.sealey.co.uk/product/5637770847/12pc-reversible-combination-ratchet-spanner-set As for torches, led auto lamps do one with a dock but its smaller than most normal inspection lamps

    The new tool thread

    Because its me thats buying them and thats what I prefer😂😂 Rather have the rigidity and know the spanner will be where I want it to be when reaching into awkward places and able to put force on it without it having a mind of its own

    The new tool thread

    Whats everyone using for ratchet spanners? Currently got halfords straight ones, not the best for access so want to go for the slightly angled ones. Been looking at mac tools and others but starting to sway towards bluepoint ones https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173615907160

    Should I get the belts done before trying to sell?

    As said, just advertise as is. New owner can run the risk or get the belts done themselves with whoever they want to do them. As long as its reflected in the price

    Getting the 2x2 172 Cup up on stands.

    Similar method to eddie, if I dont need to work on the rear I often just leave the rear on ramps If only using one jack sometimes have to do the front bit by bit to save the axle stands moving. If they have a good hold on the chassis leg and fit in the stand good then shouldnt see much movement

    Why is buying a 172/182 so hard?

    Yeah doesnt get me when some folk say must have belts done. Just factor it into the price. I didnt get mine done before sale for that exact reason.

    Why is buying a 172/182 so hard?

    Threads like this make me regret just selling my standard 172 cup and it isn't even away yet! Felt it was wasted just not getting used due to other priorities and cash can be used elsewhere

    Pure motorsport engine mounts

    Dont think anyone seems to do a mount for that one. Maybe the other 3 take most of the load and that one just absorbs some of the movement? If going solid mounts there will be minimal movement anyway

    Trailer advice

    They wont weigh you when they pull you but they dont go by actual weight. They go by the plated weight. Even if your trailer is plated for 2100kg and you only have a 1000kg clio on it, your down as 2100kg
