Any one have any experience in changing one?
Strange thing has happened to my car, drove it 10 miles last sunday morning to work, got there fine. Car was stood for 8 hours until i moved it 10 feet backwards to let somebody out. 10 minutes later i tried to start the car to go home, and all i heard was a loud whining noise. So i thought starter motor, managed to bump the car, got the car home but heard loud clanging?? noises when coming to a stop.
Found some time tonight to have a look at it, the starter motor is fine but the ring gear has completely come off the flywheel, how has it happened as the car was running fine?!
So now im in the position of having to sort it. I know its a gearbox out job, and im thinking while im fixing this, get a lightened flywheel at the same time. Ive seen this.. HERE
Will it fit? Whats peoples thoughts? Or could anyone advise me otherwise..
Many Thanks
Tom
