Well, i decided to take the mini out for a run down to the workshop yesterday. On the way back, 'catching up' with Keith on the old A77, i got a bit of a graunch and a fair bit of noise as i changed from 2nd to 3rd and a complete loss of drive?

Sounds nasty I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Something had to go at some point. At least it will give me a chance to sort the oil leaks and see why my oil pressure is dropping off so much when warm too |

Don't think it will be as impressive.

im gonna say gear set going from 2nd into 3rd and a bang its probably engaged both gears at the same time i think Doubtful. Both my failures have occured during gearchanges. Must just be the as a result of being loaded up/unloaded. On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

I'm still saying gearbox rather than drops. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

whatever it is, I really doesn't want to go down the route of SC. While I totally get the benefits, it has been a nice car to run about in (I can actually hear the radio) and SC stuff is just too noisy (god I'm getting old!) |

Sc box and heli drops aren't bad Rob. I can bimble around at 30ish in 4th and it's almost silent. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

don't get me wrong, can't beat the sound of SC stuff but it doesn't suit this car or what I intend to use it for. All the SC stuff is currently destined for the Metro........ |

I could stick it in any gear and push the car about (albeit with a bit of resistance but not turning over engine) |

Given it towed back ok and the noise coming from the engine in neutral, i'm suspecting drops |

Well, after a bit of tidying up at the shed (we took in some cars to help out a mate), i got a couple of hours this afternoon to get the engine out the car and see what went wrong. Got to say i was pretty happy to have the engine out and on the bench in just under a couple of hours. Granted, i've taken engines out quicker but i was taking my time to make sure i didn't damage the paint.

Ouch. I hope the filter caught most of it. Time for a new oil pump at least ? How much BHP did this? |

Never had it on the rollers so not sure about power but it did see 15-16psi a couple of times. Will see what the innards are like when i pull it apart |

Cheers robert. It was actually the basis of the link re the drops that made me take the SC ones out. I do think your efforts were a bit more impressive though! |
