    Same syncros per gear irrespective of low or high revs bud. It's just the symptoms of failing / breaking up items usually get worse with more revs. Wanting to keep that particular box because it feels ok low down isn't a reason in itself....... Good luck !

    Manifold removal on 197 - how hard?

    My garage charged me £200 for the removal of old and fitting of new manifold. This was 2+ years ago now though. Not a job I’d want to do on the driveway at home either. Ramps and all the tools: or let the Pro’s do it..... Good luck.

    I think Ben bought got his for around £35-£40 (?) quite a while ago. I had it in my ebay watch page for months. But i was into other stuff last year and never bothered. When i went to hit the button they were no more. Could have kicked myself. They then appeared again recently at £55 and as much...

    Big Bens non Clio

    Utter poop. More poop they aren't interested either. Make sure you mention this on Social Media wherever possible. *Grind the bastids down into the mud like. This sort of shit gets on my goat. The onus is on them as a retailer / seller to check the goods before being sent and be honest in...

    Three trips shown are all ‘Flights and Hotel’. You can add hotel transfers too if you wish. They are pretty competitive price-wise and also have two sales a year (June and Jan usually) where you can sometimes get a right bargain. Why’s that bud ?
