ok ill add more pics,,, as i got carried away and just started unbolting stuff when i was under the car,, doh !!!!

lol "take note ford" :cry::cry::cry: the renault 5 turbo's was useing that years ago mate :cry:

hey i never done a box in my old renault 5,,,,, was too busy changing the fucking engines !!!

tell me about it mine started knocking when i backed it out the garage :cry: so i pushed it back in lol

i fitted a new engine and sold the car. a week later it caught fire :cry:

my old one in 6 months of ownership done 5 engines,,,,, the last time i parked it up and then someone nicked it for its monaco leather trim and left it dumped down the road,,,,,, and stayed there till someone removed it

right here some random pics that might give some info how piss easy the job is ( notice im still in a happy place with it :)

oh and advice,,,,,, remember to take out the gearbox oil before taking out the box,,,, i was COVERED in it

the reason why you are breaking the balljoint covers is because you are using the wrong tool :cry: the one you are using is ment to be used when it dosent matter if they get damaged.

you need one of theat mate http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tie-rod-end-li...item20b0adbcb9

you till got all them lockups?
got a mfi loom hidden away in there at all m8?

ahh thats why,,,,, though on a nicer note PLEASE CALL ME BACK ONE DAY !!

i need a hand getting it back in

nope,,,,,, only got 2 of em now i have to pay for em,,,25 quid a fucking week each the robbing bastards !!,,,,, if it wasnt for the fact i have electric in them ( free electric might i add) then i wouldnt bother with them,,,,, you should see how full the other one is though,,,,,, no looms though im afraid :(
