Now that Ive fitted a normal back box to the 1.8 its a completely changed car. It feels slower but it purrs and is lovely and quiet
Yeah, I guess I knew it'd just melt, wishful thinking lol.
The box isn't overly big, its just not well positioned. I reckon the whole thing got slightly bent in the crash as it came from the breaker. Suppose I could try bending the mounts a little to move it though.
Yep took the spring off, didn't make much difference tbh.
The noise is just engine noise tbh...and injector tick lol, only really get exhaust noise under load which is how I want it. Had forgotten how loud diesels were compared to petrols though, forget the 1.8 is running half the time!

Tyres were 36psi on my pump, checked religiously once a week! Front suspension I think was meridian spec, can't remember if it was that or from a xsara. Still looks unsettled though, don't remember that arch gap, look at the pics I sent you I guess.
Chav cannon. :o
Ah I guessed it might be something like that so I left it unplugged anyway. Where is the trigger for it? Can't say I've seen a switch so guess its a micro switch in the lock?
Hmm, either your pump is wrong or Sainsbury's one is then.
Also do mine every week, as the rear cyclone has had a slow puncture for the last 4 and a half years and drops to 27psi in a week... And its not a chav cannon, it's pretty subtle imo.
Not loud either really...unlike when I drove it with nothing past the cat....that was bloody deafening lol!As for the front suspension, yeah it's Meridian height, measured floor to wing arch and it's the same as the 1.8.
Might stick the Xsara struts on that I bought for the 1.8 tbh.
