Ermm vts gearbox with new driveshafts, bearings, carrier. Had a lot of problems with being fobbed off with shit oil seals so have been through 4 litres of gear oil lol, gearbox is great to have on over the furio box. General maintenance on the car really need to get my smooth bumper done for the new season.

Thought would update with my recent issue.
As some of you know, I was driving along around 10mph and the engine dropped revs and lost a cylinder. Done a compression test when got home and all compression was gone on cylinder 1. Over time with the car off the road took the head off for the first time expecting a head gasket failure. It turned out that it had intact dropped a valve with a snapped valve spring,bent tappet and slight bend in the valve itself. Reason this weirdly had happened is I found 3 small screws which hold the rocker cover baffle in place( must of been from an old set as current covers have all screws in), they had been caught in the valve and worked it to its end. Replaced the headgasket etc and all back on the road here's a few pictures.

So my custom interior was starting to show its age. Luckily found a great one off interior which is apparently 1 of 15 made in one off anniversary editions :/ Anyway I think it looks great and it's so comfortable. Got some new leather cleaner and balm on the way as they are in need of a good clean.
