I am still so very sorely tempted by that gearbox, just to take it apart and see how it works...

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Are they something weird or you don't know how a gearbox works?
Someone in Spain? You mean someone guessed your card number? I had that a couple of months back, fortunately the bank spotted it and sorted it out.

You know you want to - even to sell it on - the prices are very cheap and I need the space before the move ....mjb wrote:I am still so very sorely tempted by that gearbox, just to take it apart and see how it works...

Re: 406 2.0 Petrol Exec
A website I used got compromised and card details got stolen, evidently including mine. Got my bank account emptied by a number of transactions in Spain
Barclays phoned me up within about 20 minutes and said "do you recognise these transactions?" to which I said "no". So they said they haven't been processed yet so they "may" be able to stop them... Get back from my grandad's funeral and find out yep, Barclays have given all my money away 
Going to be fun trying to get my money back, but with my new debit card came a "how to use your debit card" leaflet which says something along the lines of "as long as you've not been a dumbass, we'll refund any fraudulent transactions". When I went to the branch, they actually needed me to show it to them! Got a form through the post yesterday basically saying fill your dodgy transactions in here, say you took reasonable precautions, and return it to us less than 10 days after reporting it... which was 12 days ago
Hate banks
Plus I like taking things apart

I don't know how the up/down and turning motion of the gear linkage translates into different cogs contacting each other, and I don't know how synchromeshes work. I know the theory, but I need to see it to understand how it all goes together. Like the clutch, I didn't quite understand exactly how everything worked together until I'd ripped it all apart...steve_earwig wrote:Are they something weird or you don't know how a gearbox works?![]()

Re: 406 2.0 Petrol Exec
... on that basis, when do you want to collect the gearbox or should I arrange a courier for you?
The rest of the motor is there too, so too the head which can be reconditioned easily enough and sold for a profit ...

Re: 406 2.0 Petrol Exec
Hi Chaz
If i am not mistaken the picture on ebay looks as if the car has a spoiler on it ? if so and it is the clamp/stick on type and still available how much do you want for it.
Thanks Daz

Re: 406 2.0 Petrol Exec
Mate, its gone, the car etc. What was left was what was in the ebay ads, gearbox, head, engine block, alternator, aircon pump and a few other bits.
Doorcards if someone wants them (just collect, no cost) - also carpets and items that are clean, just collect, no cost.
Thanks
