Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #405 – November 24, 2021, 06:10:59 PM Its the non PAS rack adjusting screw. Neat and simple engineering adjusts the rack, locks the setting and prevents loss of gear oil. I had no end of trouble getting this rubbish picture. This was the best of 5 attempts. The screw head can be seen in the centre of the closing plate. Last Edit: November 29, 2021, 03:19:25 PM by PWardy 1 Likes

Reply #407 – November 24, 2021, 07:33:29 PM Quote from: PWardy on November 20, 2021, 02:14:49 AMInteresting, there are a number of parts in this thread that are big bumper parts that are not on earlier cars, or relate to options that became standard. Hehe. I guess that should have been a clue for the Big Bumper/PAS crew being at a disadvantage! 1 Likes
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #408 – November 24, 2021, 08:22:12 PM I don’t know, I just thought it is a really cool bit of mechanical engineering. I thought it broken and nearly ran a die nut down it. Thankfully I researched it and was surprised by what I found.
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #409 – November 25, 2021, 04:13:16 PM Nobody disadvantaged here, fairly certain all 1.6 and 1.8 cars have one of these:
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #411 – December 01, 2021, 09:07:59 PM Wanted to double check it as its a spare. 7Zap on my phone isn’t playing. So I think, and I may have to eat humble if I get this wrong, shift gear and this bit holds a lever in place. Last Edit: December 02, 2021, 04:25:41 AM by PWardy
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #412 – December 06, 2021, 05:38:11 AM Well this one hasn’t been great. Perhaps I should RELEASE some more clues. Or would that be CLUTCHING at straws?
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #413 – December 06, 2021, 08:17:37 AM Quote from: PWardy on November 25, 2021, 04:13:16 PMNobody disadvantaged here .....Maybe someone with an Auto box would be disadvantaged? some kind of clip that hold the clutch cable at the pedal box?
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #414 – December 06, 2021, 08:45:56 AM Yes they would be disadvantaged, I forgot MK2s were available with an auto. Also I guess it's not on 1.0 and 1.3 models either. I was referring to the big vs small bumper differences, this part is common to both.Your guess is exactly what I thought would be suggested as soon as I posted the part. If you follow that cable and levers and push rods all the way to the clutch you will have come across this component.
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #415 – December 06, 2021, 09:06:39 AM Hmmm, I've not played around with 020 transmissions yet.It's on the list though, so I expect I'll encounter it soon enough!
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #416 – December 06, 2021, 09:30:22 AM Yes you will definitely come across it. You don’t even need to split the box from the bell housing. It’s part of the clutch release mechanism.
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #417 – December 06, 2021, 10:34:59 AM I have a feeling I know what the 02A version looks like, I'll keep my eye out for it now.Though it feels like a very long way away!
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #418 – December 06, 2021, 02:49:11 PM Let's call time on this, it's part no 21. It secures the lever that presses on the release bearing (edit; no perhaps it secures the return spring, it's a while since I did battle with it).

Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #419 – December 18, 2021, 06:05:33 AM This isn't a test your knowledge, just thought you may find it interesting. This is a 90s DIY security feature that I have removed from my car. Pressed steel about the size of a Cook's Matches matchbox, but open on three sides.Any idea what it guarded against?
