Took the engine out my other williams today. only took 2 hours, not bad for second time i think. but when i took the n/s driveshaft off it was like a ocean of gearbox oil coming out. god knows why but thinking the bloke i bought the car off ( from evilbay ) might not of known what he was doing.

Anyway i now have a driveway full of fluid not a happy bunny at all.

You didn't drain the gearbox oil before removing the shafts? What did you expect to happen?! Or am I misinterpreting?

i would expect a little, but there must be about 5 ltrs on my driveway if not more.

:lol: I've made that mistake once, thankfully it was on the grass in my back garden, turned it into some kind of hardcore mutant grass :lol:

have taken them out before on other cars and that hasn't happened.

Will happen every single time on a clio if the box hasn't been drained before removing that shaft, sometimes people leave that driveshaft in when they remove the engine or box so they don't have to piss about with box oil

Got as much of that oil off the driveway right away otherwise you will never get the stain out. Go get some cat litter or whatever you can find in a motor factors. That's if your fussed about it :wink:

Cillit Bang degreaser & a pressure washer will get rid of the stain :wink:
