I might be getting my car back tonight with a spanking new gear box, they said it might be finnished and to give them a call at 4.... but then again its a renault garage thats fixing it so...... maybe not

 

[Tom]

£1400 quid of joy

take a look at it when they have done it

mine came back with a meaty f**ker covered in bracing and with a diffrentpart number

 

[Steveold]

Really? you think they might have changed the housing a little?? Hey mines under a year old so im not paying sh*t.... hopefuly lol

 

[Tom]

yep

 

[Steveold]

Ahhhh so maybe i can drive how i normally do without worrying if its going to break again lol

 

[RobFenn]

Why did you need ur gearbox changed? Is anyone elses first gear a b*****d to get into?

 

[Tom]

it is now but it wasnt before maybe it was the lack of oil

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Normally?- you drive like me your gonna go through loadsa boxes

 

[Steveold]

I ripped a chunk out the side of the gearbox where the bolt for the mount goes in.... needed a new box.... Wasnt my driving its a design fault

 

[RobFenn]

I probably drive worse though so im waiting for the day, i never brake, i just change down to second!

 

[Steveold]

Oh man..... best not mod my car anymore then.... I can see us having a bet to see how many we can actually get through in 3 years k.... Im on my first after 10 1/2 months

 

[Bryan]

oh god, how long before i need a new box???

hopefully reno will realise that it is quite a common fault on most of their 1.2s and recall loads of them, that way they fix them all for free

 

[Steveold]

No I was giving it some welly ever since i have had it.... hand breaks are my speciality. But ive never broken a mount before in my life....

 

[Tom]

im winning i have had 3 in 18months

 

[Bryan]

thats the exact way i treat my car

rolling roaded at 2000 miles

then again at 3000 miles

tearing up the dragstrip at 4000 miles

what next at 5000 miles????

 

[Steveold]

3 in 18 months hahahaha... sh*t i best start raggin mine some more...

 

[Tom]

i think this new one might beat me

it looks sooo much more mental

 

[Bryan]

you know youll beat it

no gearbox can put up a challenge against the mighty Tom Gearbox Killa Clio1.2

 

[Steveold]

hahaha.... oh I hope I get a fancy meaty one... i will cry if i get a feable little marshmellow one again

 

[Tom]

[Steveold]

[Steveold]

[Tom]

[klmillard]

Steve I done the same to my valver. 2 weeks after getting the car it started shacking when driving. Took it to a garage and a chunk of metal had come off the box where the bolt goes it. Didnt think this was anything major untill i found out that its going to cost £900

 

[Steveold]

Yeah well they try that on i will just give them the car back saying its faulty piece of weak sh*t....
