  • I’ve read the “learn more” bit now and I’m going to leave it switched on. (although I use uBlock anyway ‍😅)

    I think this is a legitimate attempt to ‘fix’ the internet. It seems only very basic information on interactions with ads is recorded by the browser, and then it is anonymised. As an example, the advertiser should only receive counts of how many people bought a product after seeing a particular ad. I don’t think they can see what webpage anyone in particular came from, but maybe they can see that: 11% percentage of visitors came from example.com/some-page

    Presumably the anonymised data is only provided once the pool is fairly large and wouldn’t show 100% of visitors came from cornhub when you only had one visitor 🤷‍♂️ Obviously websites will always see an IP address.

    The idea is for this to substitute for traditional, more invasive, tracking. I think it may one day achieve that.

    A warning though: I only just started reading about this.














  • I left it overnight, and now the gear change is back to normal and I have no idea why 😭

    That’s a really great way to find the problem, and if it starts happening again I will follow exactly that process 🙏

    It may not matter now, but for the sake of completing the picture:

    • I did move the gearbox but I also disconnected the linkage beforehand, carefully and gently too.
    • It’s a bleedable (concentric) slave cylinder which I replaced with the clutch as it has an integrated release bearing. I’ve now been able to test the clutch properly and it feels excellent 👌

    If the problem comes back and I am able to find the cause, I will make sure to report back!



  • It’s a 2013 Dacia sandero II - 1.5DCI

    Yes, I did. I didn’t actually fully remove the transmission to avoid removing the front subframe. There was just enough space to separate the gearbox and engine and slot the new clutch assembly in.

    I think it sounds like a single selector fork too, but I can’t think how I could’ve damaged it, since I don’t think I have done anything that should affect the internals of the gearbox 😢
