Malcolm GT Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Well i used to own this, it came to a end really as HG failed and few other issues. sold to a mate cheap who fixed it and sold it on.. 4 and a half years and boy did i miss it.so bought a clio sport from a a mate... that last 2 months, sold it off and went on the hunt. looked at about 3 before saw the below off Mike on here.. original pics from add. off to Bristol i went, started at 710 and got there for 11am.all fine and spot on so the deal was made, called insurers and off me and a mate went.20 miles later stopped in a service station, drink, food and fuel... no issues.drove another 100 miles and came off the m4 onto the m25... traffic! Pulled in and went to put into 2nd.. felt like it was struggling so tried 1st... this didnt feel right either... i couldnt choose 1st or 2nd.. it would slide across into 3rd or 4th.. hard shoulder it was.AA would be 30 min.. get in! hour later nothing... traffic had gone, called AA would be another hour.. said sod that and would drive with 3rd, 4th and 5th.. was all fine no traffic or mjor stops...sunday came and off the middle of gearstick as told maybe cable snapped... it hadnt... we were stumped.. mate went to the enginer bay. i pulled the cable.. he instantly saw the issue..the two bolts below were finger loose.. tightened and all fine!!!
