Well this could do with an update:
I went to a wet croft on October 30th:

The car ran well, until mid morning the gearbox would intermittently select gears after around 20mins of use. I put this down to heat and the Gripper LSD together showing early signs of something.
But once it was home my dreads became a reality, the Diff either needs rebuilding or the gearbox does, as when I took it for another spin the gearbox gremlins reared there ugly head again... so it looks like a gearbox rebuild and diff rebuild is on the cards.
Anywho the more important part was that croft was Oct 30th and Cadwell was booked for November 6th! So Luckily I still had my old standard ATV gearbox, in which we had to fit on a night after work! Stressful times but we managed to get it running Wednesday Night for the 2.5 Hour trip down to Louth after work Thursday.

The car held up perfectly all day! I will upload a video later however they don't look spectacular due to the fact it rained pretty much all day at Cadwell also!
So
Plans this winter are:
Fix a broken Box
Put my TH Mono's on
Neaten up the boost pipes to the intercooler
So not a lot but the Gearbox Rebuild isn't exactly cheap!
