100% agree. The box itself is good, it's the pinyon bearing and something to do with the differential that commonly goes, hence my protective nature when driving it, slow smooth gearchanges.
If I was to get serious I'd start with a shitter car, like a 306 or a 106.. Then just reap the benifits of all the chavs that owned them, buy the second hand roll cages and exhaust systems.
At the end of the day this is my dailey, my 40mpg little run about, that looks good and drives nicely.
So naturally I've put it up for sale because nothing matters more than racecar xxx

I see.. Just my driving style.
my car is just a road car, not a race car, the steering lock is terrible in the Polo too so I'd be crossing my arms over in some of the tighter turns (i.e the second part of the second cicane)
I mean.. I get the job done, so I'm not going to hold at quarter to 3 to seem professional

How does braking mid corner stabilise the car? I wouldn't say brake in a corner at all!
