H17och not sure if its the same as the mk3 box but i think the bearings in the imput shaft have given up and its just sorta rattling!

jbs took the gearbox out the same night i collected it turned up at 6,30 was looking for problem for 2 hours or so then found it was comingfrom gear box so at 7:30-8 they started to take the box out and are dismantling it in the new year id imagine and theyre personally going to drop the car down to me 5HOURS TRECK!

sorry your having problems..

my 5 day conversion took six weeks.. had the pleasure of jabbas lupo to drive.. totally gutless but covered in jabba logos... every corsa out there wanted a piece of me..

things like this tend to drag on but worth it in the end.

hope its home soon :)

can tell your annoyed with your car its not on your avatar or sig anymore! You must be well pissed and needing to spend money on the golf at its cruical stage can't help.
Hope its gets sorted soon, they must be amazing if your doing this 5 hour trek all the time!

@orange no i dont have any front spacers fitted.:thumbup:

@aimez the ibiza is defo in the dog house at the mo! ive text a few people as i thinking of SELLING UP AGAIN! looking for £11.5-12k spent twice as much :doh: just cant justify having this car anymore! but at the same time i LOVE IT TO BITS and never want to sell her :confused: :headhurt: will be back in the new year sometime id imagine!

tbh only thought id be doing the 10 hour treck 2 times 1 too drop her off and 1 to pick her up but being the first 20vt cupra to go big turbo ive seen the trip easily 9 round trips so thats 90hours of driving :sleepy: so im sure you can imagine how annoyed me and the techs at jbs are about this car! id still use jbs again tho as im like family how much i live up their :lol:

@nikiIBIZACUPRA when car is back if i do decide to keep it which i probably will then i will be doing pod no doubt
