as above...
going to do them on the egg, 16xe/f15

ordered the gasket set and the price included the drive shaft oil seals (both needed)
it all came today and the quality of the gaskets is pants, considering making them out of cereal boxes :roll: also they havent included the drive shaft oil seals

just wondering will i be able to do this fitted to the car or should i remove the box?

cheers in advance

you can fit it on the car but its easier on the floor to be fair fella also get some instant gasket and put a smear of thar around the faces of the box to but make sure the surface is clean fella

What gaskets are you changing? I bought some gasket paper off eBay so i could do the end casing gasket. Various thicknesses can be got. Use part as a template and cut it out. I smear grease on mine just to soften it.
