Its a shame the gearbox went you was going well,but the main thing is you and your passenger,and the car are still in one piece,and its a quick and cheap repair,it could have been alot worst.

Looked rapid until that point, glad it didn't cause too much damage though, could have been a lot worse.

What did you tell the RAC guy to get him to take you home? lol

 

[Marky_]

Lol, bet those have been some hard miles. No wonder it's sha*ged.

Least you're well prepared.

Its not too bad, box changed and back on the road already

Welds snapped off and circlip gone...

Diff has moved too, anyhow back in with the new box

[Brett]

Good to see it all sorted jord.

Is the new box a perminent or temporary fix?

 

[f0xy]

permanant, its a JB3 that was bought from renault brand new not so long ago, with the newer 'bolt in' diff....shouldnt have any problems with it I hope!

 

[Brett]

Take it thats the one of the blue valver that Martin put in not long before he sold you the car.

Hopefully that one will be fine like you say.

Cars looking good by the way.
