heres my cossie 4x4 R+D 6 speed dog box,
after its failure 2 months ago, ive striped it.
the box let go goin into 2nd gear.
it makes noise all the time, as long as clutch is up, wether its in gear or not.
and it also loaded up in each gear, but if i tried to drive it in 1 st, was ok (but noisey) as long as didn't go more than 1500 rpm, as it tried to lock.
Striped
Mashed 2nd gear, and lay gear.
Worn bell housin and rear housin by the auxilary selector shaft

another update.
i recieved a full refund for my old md240r turbo, which i had nothing but grief from.
my new turbo is on its way to me for tomorrow or tuesday.
its same size compressor side (enough flow for 550bhp),
with a larger 0.82 turbine housin, ( should be able to flow 520+bhp)
its rated to up to 4 bar boost, but should be efficient/maxed out about 2 - 2.6 bar (30- 38 psi)
lookin for a proper 510 bhp, which is about 50+ bhp more the old turbo ever run in car.

Turbo's fitted. will get pic's up this week.
Not a straight forward as was mean't to be. Things i had to do to fit my car.
As i used my old comp housin, the actuator bracket was already done.
Make coolant pipe work (as GT core has different coolant threads)
Make a oil feed union, and oil return,
Make damper bracket,
Modifie actuator arm, to work and miss new larger exhaust housin,
Twist wastegate arm, so actuater opens and shuts fully with out bein restricted.
Grind comp housin, and exhaust manifold, as was touchin and stopin gettin comp housin in right place,
Grind exhaust housin,
1st so a damper bracket could be fitted (needed flat surface)
2nd where actuator touched exhaustin on fully open,
Open up a hole in mani and turbo matting faces, (as new turbo didn't have heli coiled threads in it, so had to use 40mm bolts and lock nuts) and as bottom rear bolt hole in mani, didn't allow space to get the new longer bolt in.
Once all fitted and tight, i pressure tested the full boost system. (no leaks at 35 psi)
Job done

Look's great, I love seeing car's like this, so much time and effort must go in to making everything fit properly.
How does the gearbox fit in there? Or do you have a Cossie transmission tunnel welded in?
Any interior pic's mate?
