Gearbox
How much do the 5 speed boxes take and does anyone know the part number from peugeot for it and how much they are going to bend me over for? I want to use the pug stuff as apparently it's one of the few that stops the stiff changes when its cold
Engine oil.
Now I know that there isn't a best oil. All I'm after is your opinion on the best oil you have used?
This will be going into a freshly rebuilt engine and I'm not overly bothered about the price. I'm spending a fair bit on the engine so don't mind spending a fair bit to keep it in good nick. Also what would most people go for? Fully synthetic?
Cheers guys

Gearbox oil is about £6 a litre at pug. Just go in there and ask for it. Never really needed a part number. They generally knew the part number.. i probably have a part number at home

Trick i learned from krisb when i went up there was if you have an empty gearbox oil bottle with the long tubes on top. You can get to the hole on top the gearbox and just pour the 2 litres in after the drain

I can get the part numbers tomorrow if you want. Its 2l of box oil. For both I just buy both from pug. In the end its a not particularly highly tuned 10th year old lump. It dosent need anything more than what pug recommend

Gear oil is 9736 41 for 2L But i usually am given 2 x 1L bottles. A single liter is on my invoice as PVOL0000142 at £5.83 + VAT but service box dosent like 000142 so f*ck knows what the part number is.
Engine oil I just use Total Quartz 7000 10w40.

Engine wise: Gulf Competition 10/40 seems good, fully ester synthetic, I know the GTi6 boys are over the Fuchs Titan Pro-S like a bad rash, but it caused mine, Darrens and Ed's DTs to leak like sieves...
Millers CFS Competition again is a pretty good oil, ester synthetic..

Is it?
Legendary.
Please don't say it's out the tank with the heating oil, water and chunks of mud in?

Hmm wish the TU boxes were strong enough to take any old oil...... :roll:
Infact I wish they were strong enough to take 75 horses for longer than 70k miles. 
As for proper pug GB oil, it was £6 a litre when I got it and is the same for all pug petrol gearboxes so I was told by the parts guy anyway!

Still BE boxes so yes, I'd assume it's the same oil.

Yeah, they all take Total BV gearbox oil, it's a lot thinner than most oils when cold so it changes gear better, and some oils will eat the Pug synchro's too, so best to stick to the pug stuff unless you have specific reason to change it.
Nothing wrong with the silkolene Pro-S, if it leaks after a change it's because your old oil had gunked up in all the dodgy bits that should have been leaking anyway
Custom roll cages/shiny suspension bits/general fabrication work undertaken, PM me.
