Thats great gents ,thanks very much. When i spoke to renault (ware) he said that there are five different colour spings listed and he cant tell me which ones i need unless i can tell him what colour it had
I did have Dan in mind to do the whole job but have decided its about time i got my hands dirty and learned something useful. Im taking the car to le mans this year so ive got until mid june
dont panic dont panic !!

WOO ive not logged in here for a while... whats with all the gearbox pictures ??

To DaveL485 I could not praise Finishline enough for the fantastic job they have done with the bodywork. Its really good to know that there are still people with a passion for there work. Give them a call (ask for Chris Bray)

While we seem to be on the subject of gearboxes here is a link to the one i have spare in the garage
