Big Bens non Clio

05:30 start for my Sunday drive out. For those that know the Essex area I took in the sights of Saffron Walden, Thaxted, Dunmow etc...

Gearbox oil change has completly transformed how my gearbox feels. Can select any gear at any revs with no issue at all. Made up:grinning:

Totally smitten with how the old girl is running at the minute. Long may it continue...

Couple of iPhone pics as the sun was threatening to make an appearance

Thanks for looking as always

So happy for you Ben..sometimes the simplest option is the right one..easy to make the worst case scenario conclusion without trying to see,if there's easier way to fix a problem..
Enjoy her
 
the famous green "cl10 cup" from top gear has the best box/clutch action of any 197/200 i know....wonder what they did to it
 
Good news Ben, so good to hear that you're back to enjoying her to the max. Can't beat an early morning blast. Great photos too!

Great pics Ben. We did pretty much the same route on Sunday in the Lotus. Although there's ZERO chance of me getting Mrs M up that early on a Sunday. Lovely breakfast at Debden Barns around 11 and a glorious drive to follow.

Car looks awesome in the pics mate. Especially that first one!

Oh and very good news on the gearbox!
