Yeh, We had a database crash, no idea why. I'm still reviewing the logs. Lee

Saw this and thought it was funny. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/6690682/Desperate-migrants-confront-bear-in-lorry.html?CMP=spklr-_-S9SunSocial-_-FBPAGE-_-TheSun-thesun-_-20151014-_-Video-_-255629632-_-Imageandlink

Great, here's Stewart and me arriving.

Just wait until next years Scottish car show ! I'll be there and hopefully supported by a few other zeds.

Done an RS and a guy called Bitsy owns it. Was done at the same time but I picked my colour months before it got done. Had a few arguments on facebook with the guy as him n his mates say I stole his colour. Like a colour is personally owned, I said to him that I had picked my colour well before his and the two cars can't be compared as they are both so different.

Planet Performance in Dundonald.

I bought the same ones but can't remember what the lines looked like at the ends. I do recall that they needed to be bloody tight as mine kept leaking at first.

Can you post a screen shot of it?

Hi tom... (imagine 10plus people saying that, lol) I've done many a road trip too for a zed and the biggest one I did I travelled down near to south end on sea from Scotland and back with a low loader, and I ended up breaking her after I bought it. When you catch the zed bug you just can't help yourself. I've spent thousands on my main zed but still eye up bargains I see on ebay or at local auctions. Then the wife slaps me and brings me back to reality. :)

Not the easiest to take apart depending on how good condition yours are in. Here's mine when I stripped them. [ATTACH=CONFIG]80609[/ATTACH] But I bought new outer and inner rubbers for a complete rebuild. [ATTACH=CONFIG]81487[/ATTACH]

Does everyone know that they need to click on the checkbox at the top of the thread to vote ? Just asking as i'm seeing verbal votes on the thread but not actually votes towards the poll !

Jap for me. Don't mind the long reg plate but I don't like the fog placement.

Now that I look at the pictures again I think its custom, but cool all the same :

I'm sure they do make them as Andy has one with both the boost controller and turbo timer, else his is custom made.

Not bad if i may say. I loved wood work when i was younger and was good at it but doubt i could do that :)

Just used a small flat head screwdriver but work it out carefully.

There is a seal at both ends which isn't pictured. One is on the plate that you remove in the bell housing and the other is at the drive shaft side.

Finally wrapped the whole thing up in an old sheet a covered it with a tarpolin to keep it water tight over night.

Up close shot of the old bolts for the oil cooler lines and a new sump plug.

After I drained all the oil from the box I removed the inner bell housing cover and found the issue that was giving me the leak - a home made gasket ! Although it looks fairly real I believe its just been stencilled out of another one. More engine degreasing I carefully cleaned up the inside of the bell housing and fitted the new gasket I also replaced both oil seals and also the pivot ball and springs. Box back up right I also removed the old rubber oil lines which I intend to just block up now.

Working on the gearbox today and I've managed to give it a good cleanup. I started of with giving the full thing a rinse down with a high pressure hose then I went onto degrease the full thing with engine degreaser. A few rinses later and a good scrub managed to clear 80% of the old crud that was sticking to the box. Also made up a make shift stance with some wood and two scissor jacks

Fitting my gearbox back in this weekend, everyone's more than welcome to give a hand.

and UPS got me with about £20 import tax as it arrived.
