My brakes are fine and are being rebuilt anyway.



That is currently the cheapest box on ebay. Yes i bought mine cheaper then that and got it for £60 so it is poss but that item at £80 is currently the cheapest on the market without me delving deeper.

Now...
- I cannot prove the condition of the bearings on that box
- i cannot prove the syncro's are intact and fine
- i cannot prove the seals do not leak.

I currently have a working gearbox...
- with fine bearings and no whine
- changes gear smoothly
- seals were fine but changing out of good practice.

Your telling me to bin off a good box to buy a box i know nothing about for atleast twice as much as its cost to repair the seals on mine... and add that note lets just list how much the seal and bushes have cost
Corteco input shaft seal £12
Genuine pug fork bushes £5

So that means my mild box refurb has cost £17. Find me a proven box for that price and you have a valid point. If not. Shut the f*ck up about the box.

The only point youve got at all here is that the nut on bolt on one of the callipers seems "unsafe" to a fair few people. Its been in place the 3 years ive had the car and never been a problem.

Why fix it if its not unsafe or a problem?

And if you dare say why fit box and crank seals if there not leaking would you want to fit a new paddle clutch to have oil piss all over it?

No.

Not to mention, I've seen so many people fit seals to things (non genuine...) and them end up leaking within a few hundred miles. Usually because the surfaces weren't impeccably clean and the parts just aren't as good.

They're not a common item to fail, which is the surprise... Gearboxes are cheap enough these days to not worry about, but yet you're worrying about seals... But won't sort a vital problem with the braking system.

This all ties in with the strut brace debacle when you put it on anyway, pissed brake fluid everywhere and you went bezerk at the guy saying you carry your daughter in the car. I'm sorry, but if you're carrying your own daughter in your car, why don't you get the bloody braking system sorted before farting about with stupidly oversized spacers, brakes you don't need and won't fit properly!?!?

I think I should just ban myself from this thread because it drives me potty to see someone complain like hell about all the shit luck that's dealt out, but won't sort simple, basic and frankly safety critical problems.

Bye then..
