Right so been a long time since update, and the clio has certainly lived up to the french rep -but positive bits to start:
- so got the recaros fitted
amazing how much a seat makes you want to drive that little bit faster... [emoji15]
so moving quickly onto the bad bits - long story but here we go.
So after my gearbox crunching every fast change into 2nd, to finally gave up - couldn't get 2nd anymore.
So after about 8 hours of bolts rounding, and laying on me back underneath car gearbox was out.
So sent the gearbox to agency who refurbed 1st/2nd syncro etc, all good.
Refitted gearbox along with new clutch, although had slight complications with starter motor (new one needed).
So this was all well for about a week.
(Had a lot of help from a mate, and from
Budgie and many others -so cheers for that)
Got int car after work, and couldn't get any gear, and gearbox was jammed in 1st - this turned out to be the 4th and 5th gear selector shaft had dropped down.
So rang agency etc etc - I pushed the selector back to where it should be had a play all seemed well.
Gearbox is back in - happy days.
so if you're still reading and haven't lost you up there ^^ about 5 miles down the road at mates house, same thing had happened, gear selector had dropped down again [emoji26] (emotions where high)
So and this is where we're currently gearbox is back up to agency getting a big overhaul. So hopefully this is the last time ill see the gearbox out of the car - touch wood.
Cheers for reading boysss
