Gunna cost me about that to fit my 190mm clutch, but it is attached to a 1.6New LUK clutch in today, £160 fitted. That's better, the old one was like an old tractor clutch, had to jump on it to change gear - all gunged up.
Sill welded on my van, nice job done - £35. Everything's good in the world again,except the weather.
To be honest mate i couldnt tell ya, left it to a mate in an apprenticeship to fit and balance them

In what way ? my clutch is now as light as a feather.
Not actually today, but last night we featured multiple times on the Motors TV Special Stage Xtra program covering the Brands Hatch Stages, it is repeated through the week and will be on YouTube soon

don't suppose the input shaft collar that the release bearing rides along had too much grease on it?
cos I used to find that using any liquid grease there tends to collect dirt n dust till it becomes a sticky mess which makes it hard to slide along till the clutch became so heavy (getting stuck in traffic was unbareable) it snapped the rivet off the clutch end.
I now use graphite powder which is much better.

Hi every one.
Actually it was yesterday and not today.
I turned on the road which needed a full turn of string and heard a clucking sound from the passenger side. It seems the boot is gone! It made think of repairing the other car which needs trailing, if only Andy sends me the long awaited trailing arms.
Regards

Took mine to a wedding today. I ended up failing hard whilst going up a hill (was cruising in 5th at 40MPH on the approach), I was actually going down the gears until I could fine one that managed to pull me up. Had a Golf GTI up my arse too, which worsened the situation slightly. I found second gear and floored it, then watched the Golf disappear in my mirror (it caught up though :/)

Not actually today, but last night we featured multiple times on the Motors TV Special Stage Xtra program covering the Brands Hatch Stages, it is repeated through the week and will be on YouTube soon
Now on YouTube, Brands Stages is the first rally featured.
Here's a strange one. First some of my speedo head lights failed, then my speedo dial needle packs up .... just sits on zero, then my digital display goes now my fuel gauge has given up the ghost. Had the head off and can't see anything wrong ..... just one cable in a scart socket. Any ideas, or is it a common fault.
Replace speedo head is it ????

That sounds very much like loose plugs at the back of the dials to me
Checked that noddie, only one cable going into the back of the unit, and that was fine?That sounds very much like loose plugs at the back of the dials to me
Nope - when I took the head off, there was only one cable plugged in the back, scart type .. multi pin.
Mines a 52 plate face lift 1.4 does that make a difference ???
Facelifts only have the 1 plug in the dials I think noddie
sounds a dodgy connection or something though?Hello nath, hope you're well. My digital display is trying to light up, flashes on and off, then stays off ? loose wire, but where ?Facelifts only have the 1 plug in the dials I think noddie
Not bad Davy and yourself?Pass on that one haha possibly a dodgy earth, just have a fiddle thats what I usually do until someone with more knowledge in electrics comes along, to rule out the cluster itself do you not have another coilpack to borrow off, obvs if it still faults its definitely the wiring

Entered a road rally! First one for a few years.....
Did a few jobs to the car, checked her over after Brands and all was ok, even the brake pads had plenty left on them
Had to cover over most of the stickers, due to road rally rules.
Sorted out tyres, got two that need fitting in the week.
Raised the front ride height
Added some water splash guarding, packed the road rally kit of tools, spares etc....
Just got to change engine and gearbox oil and fit the front wheels/tyres.
