Gearbox oil seals are a real easy job. And iirc the seal is something like 70p

Only real tool u need is a ball joint splitter

Fucking unlucky you are mate, Filter looks good though. They look so much better against the 16v engine.

Finally got a stub axle today, got a whole rear beam from a VTR, bearings are shot in it though, may rebuild it and sell.

Anyways, everything is ready for the mot retest now apart from the exhaust, still bloody blowing, need some exhaust assembly paste.

Once its MOT'd (Tomorrow hopefully) then is replace gearbox seals, 1x top mount, fit lower strut brace and my powerflex lower mount.

Finally MOT'd, after the 3rd attempt

Had to give it a hell of a beating to get it hot enough to pass the emissions, but all is good now.

That just leaves me to do:

Replace top mount
Fit lower brace
Fix gear linkage arm
Adjust exhaust, and refit the decat

Need me some 15"s too, on the hunt for speedline comp2s.

Top mount was replaced a few days ago.

Decided I really dont like this car, no where near as fun as the XSI.

New plan, sell the fucker and buy a 306 HDI.

And as a side project

AX 16v

640kg

Imagine it would make less than 600kg after strippage, indluding the extra weight of the 16v.
