geordie_aaron Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 ifit was gearbox oil it would grind like hell and not go in at all, wouldn't just fix itself like you described.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*JO* Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 we think the gearbox has been changed at some point from an auto to a manual......and its a jap import but at uk spec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-Finesse Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Jon C's only fucked up because he drove it hard as fcuk. Could possibly even say it was abused! Many people claim to drive hard, but then there's the likes of Jon PMSL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*JO* Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 just to let you know.......its not half as bad as what we thought. basically, all that needs to be done at the mo is the track rod ends, oil sensor, back box and rear brakes ......... all of which we can get done for next to nothing as we have discovered that the bloke that runs Apex used to go to school with toby so basically were looking at say £500 tops to get everything done including the bodywork and fitting lights etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
