Licking 320Touring's Clio - Getting a new* box

[unclecalzone]

Not the circlip'd in diff causing problems is it? Maybe some play or something. Though that said the circlips generally pop out and you lose drive altogether.

And yeah subframe off job for the box, be careful not to strip the fixings for the bolts in the body that's a total nightmare

Its done some miles since master SIAB picked it up for me, and appears to be at its worst when turning left and under power.

 

Whether its stripped teeth, or circlip shenanigry I do not know. I do know it has some drive though.

 

I'll be reading up over the weekend:)

I definitely want a 182 next.

The casino is due to be relocated a few hundred yards away in a 12 million pound project.

If you decide that this is not worthwhile making the journey North, I would like to relieve you of the responsibility and the Clio of it's engine for a transplant to my Cabby Megane.

[320touring]

Flight booked to get this at the weekend..

 

Many thanks to the midlands massive members who are assisting!

Tame Mechanic sez: a) thirty quid will cover it, and 2) GOOD LUCK!!

Flying is a bit austentatious I thought you'd be on the £1 overnight mega bus.

Also if you fly then you get the unique* and wonderful* experience of the AirRail link to where I will be parking the car as I am buggered if I am paying to park it at airport prices.

Such glamour!

[chaseracer]

Text me the plan, gents - the key awaits! 

[320touring]

Plan details senteded

[Sloth in a bowl]

If we had planned this correctly, then Neil could be driving up to Scotland behind the AA man in something that he has just purchased from Cannock.

[320touring]

Unlikely as I haz RAC memberships

[320touring]

What the fuck time is this?

 

I now have a seat in the airport waiting area, a £1.55 bottle of fizzy water and 15mins til the gate displays

[320touring]

In a fun twist, this plane is leaving from the same set of gates that I departed from on Vauxhall vectra escapades..

 

On plus side the sky looks cool!

I am in the car currently driving up to Edinburgh with the family. I could have picked it up and brought it North.

Thanks, but think it is unlikely to take a drive up the road..

TURDOPROP:)

[beko1987]

You there yet?

[chaseracer]

 

No, he isn't.

 

[Sloth in a bowl]

320 touring is somewhere dodging trucks on the northbound side of the M6

 

We (320 touring, Chaseracer, myself) had breakfast at the Trucker's rest and a look around Cannock auctions (complete lack of decent chod) before the departure.

As an SOS has not been received on WhatsApp then I am believing that all is well*

 

 

*not totally fucked yet

[chaseracer]

As an SOS has not been received on WhatsApp...

 

I'm scared to check!

 

 

EDIT: Apparently, still moving...

[320touring]

Ahh, where did we get to?

 

We left pictureskew Silica Bovine

 

 

And soon were preparing to land in the jewel* of the Midlands

 

I was greeted by tame shiter Sloth in a Bowl for onwards conveyance.

 

But not before I got a pic of the spectacular roof

 

Then to the only appropriate veehickle for such a collection

 

 

And out into the wilds of the Midlands

[320touring]

The next stage was to sojourn to the garage that the Clio was billeted at.

 

Initial inspections were promising..

 

Desirable wheels avec akshul tread..

 

At this point, young Mr Chaseracer arrived with the key..

 

Once it was established that it unlocked remotely and started happily off the key, we got down to the SRS BIZZNIZ.

 

Truckers rest breakfast:)

[chaseracer]

Oh dear...
