Opps... forgot to post up the results!! Took it back down this morning for them to check the 3 things and it passed fine. So its now Mot'd and taxed!! Noticed something when running backwards and forwards to the test centre. It clunks when going into 2nd, tried changing clutch cable and adjusting the linkage but still the same, other gears are fine. So suspect 2nd gear synchro has gone. Already looked into pricing of parts and arranged for someone to strip it down to sort it out. Mart has very kindly offered me the use of his gearbox for a few weeks while mine is being sorted and also for the ring trip in a few weeks. So thats a job for this week... Nightmare!!!
Read about the box on VS, bad news that :(
Good news about mot :)
Dont scratch the paint getting the box out! Lol
Nightmare on the gearbox andy! Hope you get it sorted soon tho! I dont think it would be a proper nova turbo without something going wrong.

Got that right. Well to be fair, if thats the only issue with it after a rebuild... You've done well IMO.Quote:

Marts gearbox is now in my nova, just a few pieces to re-fit tonight and then it will be on the road again, Not looking forward to having to dismantle it all again to refit mine when it's fixed. Will be able take more time then though and will get some more bits and pieces stripped and powercoated as there's a few bits i'm not happy with.
Got to say cheers to Ade at our local vauxhall, rang him up to say i would'nt be able to get in to pick my gearbox oil up yesterday, he said no worries i'll bring it round for you. Turned up with my engine oil, gearbox oil and nice new GSI Badge for the front bumper.. Now that's what a call good service!!
whish my dealer was like that as soon as you mention the word nova they look down there nose at ya
Ade is mint, he will try and track any parts down that you want, and will do a full dealer search in europe if needs be. Some of the other fellas there are the same as your dealer, look at you strange when you mention nova!
Gearbox is now all done, built everything back up and took it for a drive and took a few of the lads out in it who have helped me, gears are all fine and it feels good!! Hopefully finishing work early tomorrow so i'm going to take it to have the tracking done. It's booked in to go back to Radtec, and then some final bits and pieces to do before germany in under 2 weeks!!
