Did you get your oil leak sorted okay?
I did Watts, thanks for asking. It was the rear main seal so gearbox out job. Bit disappointing as the car had only done 18000 when it was identified. Apparently it’s a common problem on these engines. They replaced some breather pipe work too, which may have been the cause.
I would urge everyone to look under their car before the warranty is up. I had no oil on my garage floor, it was collecting on the gearbox diff area and if it wasn’t for an eagle eyed MOT inspector I would have been none the wiser.
Now I can fit the bits you sold me!!

Great outcome then! Did the short shifter turn up too? I was really pleased with the gearshift on mine when it was all set up, I do miss it. If you haven't already then I can recommend removing the assistor spring off the clutch pedal and a bump stop too. Some have removed the valve from the bleed box of the clutch hydraulics and say it improves things too but I didn't get around to that.

No short shifter yet, I need to kick my brother up the arse, he bought it in November!! Spring is removed and plan on removing the restrictor too. I’ll write up my findings when it’s done.
