Hello mate, sorry I took so long to respond to the post (thanks for the mail Si). Nice to meet you mate, its always a good thing to have someone to chat to whilst in the queue, especially that day as it took bloody ages to get to the start.

How did you get on, did you beat your 13.9 in the end?

haha, did i ****! i bodged up the start (bouncing off the limiter i think...) then ground 4th gear which has knackered it!!! so it will off to a dealer to get fixed soon :P think i ended up with a 14.5 on that run despite all that went wrong!!

Now at least i know who you are, it was bugging me before!!

Have you killed your gearbox?, it could'nt of done that much damage just by crunching the gears.

I havent killed the whole box, just the synchro in 4th, so not if i try to go from 3rd to 4th above about 2800 rpm it crunches everytime.

It happened after id done about 4000 miles in the car, so i know pretty much whats happened. Except i had to drive it for about 2 months before it was fixed last time, resulting in not just the synchro in 4th needing to be replaced, but 3rd and 4th gear cogs, AND 3rd and 4th gears synchro.

Lets just say that im doing many a block change from 3rd to 5th......

still, ill have it sorted soon.

For some reason 4th seems to be a VERY weak gear indeed. but its not the first 03 that ive heard of t have this problem either, just annoying!!
