    It only takes a supply shortage for them to get parts from another source, seen it before a long time ago mind, mostly braking systems, but other stuff as well.

    I'm sure i can get one from somewhere, will look through Ebay though, if i can get a quick delivery, the one you put up is for delivery next week sometime :persevere:

    could do, there's also GSF, there next door to each other down here
     
  6. are they open?..euro carparts can have it in store for the 7th my end..or deliver..
     
  7. looks like they are shut to customers..only key workers and delivery...so i assume everyone will be the same

    And they will deliver if i want

    I have also replaced the bearing on the drive shaft as well today, the old one was a little worn, but there wasn't any roughness to the bearing though
     
  10. see what you can so..and let me know how much it is,so i can put it right into your account
    on the eurocarparts site they have transmission and timing end seals..which one is it?
    if you cant get it..they will deliver next day for £5 postage...just not 100% its the right seal,as europarts dont use oem part numbers to match up to there own items.
     
  11. what did the gearbox mount look like?..was it worn??

    Its the transmission end one, its 105mm diameter, i have the sizes so if needed i will measure it before i buy it.

    Yes the mount was a bit worn, mainly the bit underneath bit.
     
  13. yeah..that one on the eurocarparts site is 105mm.if you cant get it ian..i can get it next day delivery.

  18. dont worry about your car ian...i swapped it for a yugo zastava.
    It was a hard bargain with a eastern european gentelmen,with all the panels hanging off,and the front end like someones fired a shotgun at it...but when i threw in a straw donkey the deal was done.

    and it has steel wheels, they must double it's value
     
  23. It's the 45 model to Ian....that 45 raging horsepower..might be a bit to much for you...so luckily it's only running on 3 cylinders at the moment ...
     
  24. Came on guys, with those jokes I would want to Ian never finish the R26!:tonguewink::tonguewink:

    We always fit Luk clutch and DMF in the garage, and never had a problem.
     
  25. I asked my renaulttech and he said luk is oem so that explains it!
