Spot on - I had not got the circlip into its groove, my third hand must have been weak that day. However, 2 weetabix and a pair of molegrips later and its all up and running again. Thanks Mr Sheffieldcortinacentre.

Many thanks, especially for the pic too - Erm, that would be me...I took it to bits lol and I put it back just there - mind you all I did was placed it about there, got an open ended spanner and forced it down until I thought it had engaged in a groove - It is possible it didn't and I didnt push it far enough. I'll whip it off and see if its located - Thanks again, I'll report back so as to close this off as fixed if it is.

Hi - My 4 speed Cortina Mkv Gearbox was removed and refitted, the reverse gate used to work perfectly but now it is happy to slip straight into reverse which makes traffic lights a little more exciting as reverse is next to first on my box. Not sure what "type" my box is but I know reverse should be to the left, press down and forwards (as I say, next to first). The gear lever is retained not by bolts but by a large fine threaded collar with lock tabs around it. I've clearly not reassembled correctly - what have I done? Thanks for any assistance.

Hi - Looking for a rear adjuster pair of rachets and a spreader as on all DBA Bendix Braked Cortina's - so 76 onwards. Can't work out how to place full size pics on this site but can email if required Part number 11 is my main part required so if thats all you have, I'm your man!
