I dont know why theres a dogma around a gearbox repair, i did mine at 57k and now at 115k still going strong. An early problem does not mean a problem box. And although it will cost around 2.5k in parts you can refurbish them yourself

MY car is at 154k miles and would say its worth no more than £15k on a good day. Basically had to replace the whole PCV system to date as its brittle and knackered but rest of the car has just had the usual consumables associated with operating a v10 oven. My gearbox is still holding out although w...

Second hand market is generally very strong at the moment, my lad sold his corsa having had it as his first car for 2 years and managed to make nearly 15% on the sale!, mainly driven by the chip shortage which is still impacting new builds, so if you were going to take the plunge I would wait a whil...

I'd like to know where you get your insurance if your road tax is double that, Mine aren't that far apart. That might have something to do with the fact that every time my speeding points come down I seem to go get another for some reason. I've absolutley no idea why that would be :bash: :bash: :bash:

Just thought I would add this snippet; Just changed the oil and filter in my box and had one of the sump pan screws snap on me, I reckon my torque wrench needs calibrating and it was overtightened, just felt too tight for 8Nm in hindsight.... In any case - for those that need to know these are M6 x ...

Job would be so much easier if that far bottom corner fixing under the myriad of pipes back there was in a more accessible spot...

You must have jinxed me Jim, doing a major service, noticed rocker cover gasket OffSide has been leaking, so now changing that. Pig to do with engine in situ.

If that was out of a box or diff I'd share your concern Jim, but the oil only acts as a damping fluid, passing through orifices and valves, so I wouldnt worry too much for the DRC, still not nice to see. Im assuming theres no foreign matter in it (metal, rubber)

You can query the state of the O2 sensors with VCDS if you have access to one to see what life they have left in them, I'm a bit far away to offer the use of mine!!!

Assuming that brass dial is your adjuster, how many steps does it have, do you have the data chart for the adjustments?

What are you doing with your existing DRC system... what state is it in??

So does this feature still work with the TRUPS mod?

Having checked owners manual I beg to differ Ian....

There are also some kits from Lowtec which has adjustable dampers as well

Do you mean adjustable ride height at the spring cup, adjustable compression and rebound, independent adjustable compression and rebound, or all 3?

Mind you, thinking back over the near 7 years I've had the RS I don't think I've ever used the fogs other than to test them before a MoT. Arent the fogs used as the courtesy parking lights that come on for a short duration when you get out? So youve actually used them every time you use the car? If...

Sent this dude a pm donkeys ago, never had a response
