gelvy Posted 9, May 2012 Report Share Posted 9, May 2012 Hello all, My name is Guy, I have been a member for a while but have not made the effort to introduce myself formally. I am a Clio 182 cup owner in Ashfield, Sydney, and have had a constant love/hate relationship with my car. Eire dropped a card on my dash a while back and reminded me I was a member, so thank you Eire, I assume you are local to me? Anywho, to say the least, you guys have been truely life/car saving of late, and I thought I would share my appreciation. Lots of threads helped me with niggles, in both identifying and solving said issues. So I would like to thank you all, especially Eire for reminding me of this wealth of knowledge. Cheers Guy/Gelvy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemz Posted 9, May 2012 Report Share Posted 9, May 2012 Welcome, at last! You're right about the wealth of knowledge on OzRS. When used in conjunction with CS.net you're pretty much covered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gelvy Posted 10, May 2012 Author Report Share Posted 10, May 2012 Hey all, thanks for the warm welcome. Haha didn't realise I was a member since 2008! I would like to say I am a happy clio owner at the moment, but unfortunately my gearbox decided to pack it in last night, so at the moment I am a RS owner but not driver . Hoping to track a gearbox down so I can get my bog stock beasty back on the road. Unfortunately Nemz, there is only so much a big wealth of knowledge can fix.

nemz Posted 10, May 2012 Report Share Posted 10, May 2012 Talk to Matt205 about your gearbox. He's replaced 2 recently (not on the same Clio, thankfully ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob 240 Posted 10, May 2012 Report Share Posted 10, May 2012 hey there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelvy Posted 10, May 2012 Author Report Share Posted 10, May 2012 Thanks for the heads up Nemz, I'll be sure to ask him some questions (I would be concerned if it was two in the one car! Unless he had created some kind of monster AWD twinny). I have been speaking to Alan/Eire and he has a couple of leads as well. Really do appreciate how helpful you all are. Thought you might appreciate hearing that I spoke to Peter Warren spares for a laugh, got a quote on a brands new 'box, a princely sum of $5500...

chiapoco Posted 10, May 2012 Report Share Posted 10, May 2012 5.5k? wtf :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemz Posted 10, May 2012 Report Share Posted 10, May 2012 So it's a brand new 'box or a whole 172 (extensively used, of course). Also, I doubt Matt has the time to moonlight as Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiapoco Posted 10, May 2012 Report Share Posted 10, May 2012 surely wolf can pull something a little less than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelvy Posted 10, May 2012 Author Report Share Posted 10, May 2012 Haha yeah exactly, although that would be one well "worn" 172. Well I have found a 172 box, but that's not ideal, looking for minimal impact. Yeah I have shot an email to wolf to see what he can do.
