Started doing the clutch... hailstone, wind and rain have stopped play for now. When the hailstone f***s off I'll just go out in the rain

Swore at it as I realized I undid the gearbox plug and drained the gearbox oil out into a filthy container rather than the engine oil, first time ever doing it! Renaults a bit weird for putting the gearbox plug right in the access hole, but my own fault as i'm a total novice! Tomorrow will be spent filling my gearbox with new Castrol oil. Spent today doing the oil filter, then changed both plug washers, filled engine again to the min line with 5w40 engine oil having filled it up to 7l before hand thinking the old oil was out of the car... will fill up to the max line tomorrow when its settled through and there's some daylight!

This happened to my mate , he got them from GSF - ended up buying OEM as you. Bloody motor factor crap

No offence but it might be visible but it's in the gearbox, where gearbox oil is, not in the sump that's attached to the bottom of the engine... Surely you know the difference between a gearbox and an engine?

Do now, 17 and totally new to cars, just figured its the one through the access panel and has the right size plug with the copper washer on it

Fair enough. At least you know for next time. Did you discover that gearbox oil smells like cat piss?

I thought more like eggy stink bomb
Put my new number plates on the Swift.... It really needs a clean though!
Sold the 1.2 and bought a Monaco 172, got some parts ready to go on today once the rain stops.

It's coming along nicely mate. Give me a shout when you get your Polocarbonate windows.
Removed most of the hard top fitting kit from the Z3 before rain stopped play as you need to do it with roof down.
Started stripping down the X5 to change the water pump and then the rain got really heavy and there was no way I was standing out there in that for another 4 hours so came back in.

Got this far before the heavens opened. The rear quarter glass is also polycarbonate and bonded in.

Awesome..
Where did you get them from?

How did you go about fitting the rear windows?

I'm guessing he would have had to cut the window out from inside with an extremely sharp blade , once glass is out , clean up surface area , let it dry , apply bonding agent and place poly-carbs in to position and allow to set. I'd imagine the hardest bit is cutting out the original bonded window.

That looks nice - how have you got the front window to stay in place ?
As no winder mechanism
