Polo Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hey guys, I use to be around here for the tech stuff as I 2j swapped a load of cars, am an engine builder and work with the r154 and v160 transmissions (never owned a mkiv ). A lot of my customers are telling me I should get back on here as there is a need for v160/1 repairs? Iv been stripping and rebuilding these boxs for around 8 years now, it was quite a surprise to me when I recently spoke to one of the traders on here and they said “no one in the U.K. specialise in these gearbox’s”. So obviously I know there are trading rules here, if you guys think there is enough demand and it’s ok with the club then I will look at becoming a trader. Many thanks Paul 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC93 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hi Paul! Great idea, I believe the issue is getting hold of the parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea, I believe the issue is getting hold of the parts Indeed that is the biggest problem right now but things are starting to happen and there are various places starting to reproduce most of the common parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraleeturbo Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Just picked mine up from Paul and the attention to detail is fantastic, he’s sent me pictures through out and kept me informed on what’s going on and he is able to Aqua blast the casing for me and without asking even went as far as zinc coating all the hardware!!!!! Thank you again paul 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 What issues did your gearbox have Lee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleyh_15 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 If you can offer a full v160/161 service & full parts list then I’m sure the forum will no doubt be a busy hunting ground for you. Good luck and keep everyone up to date on if you can get hold of all the required parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
