Happy to collect Project Commuter up from WOM having had a whole bunch of goodies fitted.
Work completed:
- PTW gearbox fitted
- New LUK clutch
- New (used) steering rack and tie rods and end links
Only done 50 miles so far but the car feels very different to drive. The gear shift throw is much shorter but also much lighter, the clutch pedal also moves so much more easily. I have realised how bad the steering rack was before the replacement the car is so much easier to place on the road precisely (and hopefully isn’t leaking on my drive).
As always top notch service from Rob and Marcus and appreciate having an A2 as a courtesy car too as well as them just repairing an issue with the fuel lines they spotted while it was there (and finding my long lost 8mm deep section socket).
I will drive for at least a couple of tanks of diesel bit before commenting on the gearbox (fuel economy, ratios etc) as there's some hefty differences to what I am used to as some of the shift points have moved significantly.
