the speedo square inner cable on my metro is smaller than a mini so it don't turn ,as the drive on the gearbox is for the larger mini cable.
Do I have to change the whole end casting(the bit benross put the oil temp sensor in)*oh well*

No mate, im pretty certain you can remove just the drive unit. IIRC there is a blot just below the cable connector that releases the unit.

Oh yes you undo the 10mm nut and it pulls out.

Next question do I have to drain the oil to change it or won't it be up that far

It is not up that far, undo the 3/8" head bolt, lift off the forked clamp, then you can pull the drive out.

Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

i've had this problem a few times. metro ones tend to always be large, whereas mini ones smaller.

can be a pain to get out if the metal spacer is stuck in though!
