Hey! Can't say I had the same issue, mine would not go down on my FL1, so I guess much better, however in the summer not fun, in short I discovered the plastic part that had the cable for the motor to pull had water and corroded the plastic over a long time so I needed to replace the whole...

I took the clock spring from it, super easy to change, wrench and screwdriver will set you up, may need to re-use your clock spring though.

Hey, you'll have to let me know, however I can clean one one, it has volume control if you are at all interested, in the beige colour. Does that work?

You can always get a spray bottle with water, spray down all the turbo lines where they are clamped, start the car and check for bubbles ;)

yeah I thought so but mine says 8V on the engine but also says TD4 on the back (Door) You know what, I will take it out the diesel and let you all know how it goes :)

Hey so I have a Petrol 1.8 and a Diesel 2.0 TD4 (Parts car) I may need to replace the Gearbox (another thread in question) but I am of the understanding that the gearbox from the TD4 does not fit the 1.8 Petrol. However... This suggests that the 1.8 petrol and 2.0 Diesel are the same as long...

Though the more I look around and at the below picture: The more I think it is stripped as the splines where the IRD would go (The smaller set of splines) it is smooth but with little bit of spline at the end. this picture illustrates this Red being the beginning of the splines, blue being...

Here are some more pictures of the removed IRD and CV While a little blurry the splines inside the gearbox are all okay: Not sure if it is how it is meant to look but the middle set of splines only have spline at the bottom of that part but the CV still splines in and rotates nicely. All...

Yeah I did not think I could swap the gearboxes :( Either way, the CV seemed fine, I checked both sides to make sure, all splines are good none are sheared I am not sure where the issue lays, when I get home from work I will upload some images and videos of the issues may clear up some...

So... Wasn't this fun. I spent this weekend, getting dripped on by oil, coolant and dirt, but I guess I do this because I enjoy it, however I took the IRD out, took the diff cover off it and it was fine???? All the gears are good, it actually looks, really really good, oil was super clear, no...

Chisel and a hammer ought to get that tab out the way right?

That actually makes a lot of sense, will ensure I crack it with the car down and then do the rest of it off the floor Gonna get a 2ft Breaker bar and attached my jack stand pole to it for about 4-5 ft of breaker bar, should be plenty to get this nut off.

Yeah I took a look and it is 400nm but you make a really good point, if the driveshaft is not connected then how the feck am I gonna apply 400nm or more to the nut without it spinning? The engine doesn't even provide 400nm of torque, wish me luck :rolleyes: Will probably try using a combination...

Ouch. I just went out while we were discussing this to give this IRD a couple tests and it is bad news, or maybe good? I don't know, I think more disassembly is needed to determine full damage. I read this forum >...

Thank you, now you mention it, there is a small oil leak on what I think is the front diff or the gearbox, honestly I go under this car and have no idea what I am looking at 😅 (It is the first box on the right when under the car, it looks like where the diff connects to the LH wheel driveshaft)...
