How'd you break that then? You been overly vigorous with your stick?

Yes, twice daily. But the gearlever, well, When i rewound the gearbox I noticed it had a harline crack down it's length about 4" long, i thought to myself 'thats obviously been like that for a while, it'll be ok for a while longer'. Which clearly, was wrong. I think the previous owner said he changed the gearbox because he was struggling to get it into gears, so I assume its fatigued from a flaw and gradually split over time, until I stuck it in first at a roundabout last night and yanked it off.

I wouldn't say that, Neils half right, the stick isn't the same as a RHD one, but it's certainly interchangeable.

Seen a couple on Ebay and a dyane one

It's ok, I've got a few spares here and there...

The only problem with a LHD stick and a right hooker occurs if you've got a Club type speedo, coz the stick gets too close to the speedo when you put it in fourth.

hehe okay then russ.... Sorry neil

oh and btw russ, after having a look through the large box of parts we got with Lily... i've found a gearlever! so if you dont wanna "borrow one" of your daddy's aks400, then theres one here

Had enough of this car now.











I wouldn't mind if some of the problems were my own fault, but nowt that's gone tits up on it has been foreseeable. I'm almost scared to drive it now.

Dont chuck the bits in the bin, they are useful..

Which bits?

The pulley's had it, the blades are all cracked on the fan and both the cooler pipes, and the matrix are holed spectacularly!
