Went to leave on Friday morning and the gearbox and clutch had developed a death rattle, (didn't even drive 1 mile)
So came home and changed the gearbox and clutch, luckily i had all the bits anyway so didn't actually cost anything.

Thought i could just drop the gearbox out quite easily.


Ended up having to remove more than i had planned.


Got spare box in



Mostly back together (sunday)


Finished it off yesterday


Feels lovely to drive again, gears are so silky, i reckon my old box must of been buggered for a while. Going to put new gearbox oil in tonight.

Come round mate, we could shoot sparrows and shine laser pointers at the gang of 9yr olds that bully me.

Standard feature, is too big to fit in straight so they put it at an angle. Its a hot running engine, cooling is its main problem/death cause.

How can you resist just going and buying a new car when that happens?

That looks much more fun than simply driving your car to where you want to go.
