Castor correction bushes, do they come with fitting instructions?
Prawn said:Had that odd resistance then free up a few times since. Almost like a binding cv or caliper similar, accompanied by a transmission shunt kind of noise.
Just decided to experiment in the road when coming back from a drive, Forward and back about 10 times and couldn't replicate it.
So went to pull into drive, and it rolled forward 2 feet then the front wheels LOCKED solid like an emergency stop.
Turned engine off, into neutral, Got out, and pushed it backwards, and the wheels did exactly 1 full rotation then it jammed solid going backwards too. All in neutral. Engine off.
Pushed forwards and back a few times to find the point it jams, then it freed. Fired it up and it sounds fine, engages all gears fine, so I drove it into the driveway REALLY carefully, about 30 yards, and as I rolled the last 3 yards to a stop it caught again and she juddered the last few feet with a loud scraping noise from the box

Drained the oil, which confirmed it definitely the right move pulling the box.
More metallic than the average 'Pimp my ride' Wagon.

That doesn't look very good! Bearings or just dislodged Swaff from the box?
Was a bearing upgrade recommended or was tge overheating most likely down to ****** oil?
More tyres!
The Megane is potentially the fastest vehicle I have been in this year.
LVSR had a bit of fun setting my car up yesterday with the Defcon inserts and caster increase bushes

130 rampant French stallions gulping away on the heavier distillation of crude oil we commonly call the fuel of satan
hey prawn since you've gone through some many gearboxes have you considered this
SQS Racing | VW 5sp Synchro-kit 02J
reasonable price compared to upgrading to a 02M
Same kit as Bill has in his Ibiza (6 speed version)... just fitted an SQS 02J box to the 450hp Mk2 Golf track car currently at the workshop too... good kit, Bill loves his... ;P
