It's "yo yo make a wicked cup of cocoa" :P
Good thing I downloaded Mrs. Doubtfire! It's amazing the way no matter how old I get, that film doesn't and I can still watch it over and over again.0 -

I don't understand why manufacturers put it in the bell housing. The 156 ts has it in the same place, gearbox off jobby. Why I haven't a clue. The gtv ts and all the v6s have it on top of the box.
On the other hand good time to do the clutch, but still an unnecessary expense.0 -

A car broke down on the new road heading towards the Round O, just before the roundabout. Essentially, half the kip of a town was locked solid as a direct result :cool:That sucks ass. I had the slave cylinder go on our old Coupe. Took 10 minutes to swap out, and 10 to bleed. What a bad design to put it in the gearbox.
Some might remember I had a Fiesta for a little bit. I put it through the NCT. Failed on some niggly little bits; spare wheel in the boot not the undercarriage and needed to tidy my wiring for my triple tone horns are some I remember.
It also failed on a small leak from the gearbox. Which had me puzzled, as it was a new box. But then it dawned on me that had happened: slave cylinder failed.
The part was €103 from Ford so a bit sticky and had the newer redesign so the pipe was altered to fit. To change it means..... Engine out and box off (anyone who has worked on a mk4/5 festy will know how tight room is between the box and subframe, thus it was quicker for me to whip the whole unit out)
Leak solved, just about a days work
The Merc I now drive has the same type of slave cylinder, clutchless changes galore for me. I dread taking that box out as I don't have a lift/pit to do the job... It's a c*nt to do a rwd box without suitable lifting!!! 0 -
