LOL!
I wouldn't worry too much Gherk, the car has a sort of in built right of passage.
It tests the new owner for a few months, then it's mint.
For me, it snapped the metal (and bolts) on the top engine mount bracket out of the blue, the clutch went, the CV joints (both sides) died, the ac condenser got a hole in it, and the passenger door wouldn't unlock with the central locking.
Once I'd defeated that, it was poyfect for ages.
You still haven't replied to me on that connector in the dash

Sounds like a good excuse for a Gripper or Quaife to me.
In fact, it's the excuse I used.

:dapprove:
I'd half like to do that TBH, however having a shorter ratio in 5th doesn't really appeal with regards to motorway driving. It's bad enough already.
Meh, it's life. A few saturdays in work and it's half way paid for. It's certainly the least of my worries at the moment.
Get the box refurbed mate. Pull it out and have it up to agency.
Would you be willing to pull it out mate?
Yeh no worries mate
Alright, I'll be in touch

Because I feel guilty, and I'm a nice man, get dan to get the box out and you bring it to me. I'll take it and collect it from agency and you can collect it from me. Will save you 2+ hours of driving.
Thanks for the offer, I'd prefer to save everyone the petrol and get it palleted though, as I haven't really got the logistics to haul a gearbox around everywhere. That's if Dan's OK with getting it palleted from SJM.
I do want a best cash price refund though for selling me a duff motor xxxx
I seem to remember you saying there wasn't much difference between a 1*2 and a 1.2...

In a straight line or around corners? Because in the first one, there's no contest, in the second one, the 1.2 was actually better than this one, and at least on par with a normal 1*2.
I think you were talking about acceleration mate, have you changed your mind about that then
That's why you're an awesome bald headed Bristolian!

No.
Oh, I never said the acceleration was anything near to similar. The 1.2 was dangerously s**t. You couldn't overtake anything with it, that's for sure.
Dan, don't feel guilty at all because there was no sign of it when I bought it so you didn't know anything about it and neither did I.

I was nursing it lol. Not as quick as yours though!
Ha, shame we only had one little blip onto the motorway really but felt bad leaving the Twingo !?
I did think half way back, hmm MPG isn't enjoying this constant 4,000rpm and I bet this is stressing your box a little bit. I defiantly couldn't use mine on the motorway a lot.. however that Trophy was crazy loud!
