Got clutch flywheel on. Went to fix gearbox, and it has a heli coil hanging out of it.
Nowhere open today selling a heli coil kit, and I'm
Not putting box back in when one of the mount holes is fuxked.
So
That's it, again... Pissed off. Spent two extra days now, when car was ready to start, now it's in pieces again, and no idea when I can get the box back
On.
This tiny screw is what fuxked me up.

I can't help but think all this work would massively benefit from some sort of stand alone management instead of phase chips.
Could some1 maybe clear it up and say im wrong.

Missed the delivery of new coil (paid £11 for special delivery, and postman comes at 7.30:/
Ironically he left the fuel adapter in the porch that I bought at the same time, and was sent just first class and posthe was free -_-
New FPR blank on, it's bit manky looking tbh, but can be sorted at a later date after its prices working.. It's on now (whole fuel rail has to come out due to stupid design of upwards facing bolts. Also broke one earth lead (just needs new eyelet, mentioned so dont forget)
Can't get coil for 24 hours and its about to piss down!
Hmm

Just a neighbour. He was friendly enough, and tbh I could see his point, I'd be pissed off too!
Trax was the last time, and it was touch and go getting it there. Funny how things work out tbh.
