smells like clutch. by spd wxm on Sat Oct 04, 2008 5:08 pm
Hi all. :) . Well had a good day planned for today, take the eldest and his mate out lanning , so me and my mate with the vit, head of into the unknown. All was looking well until we noticed a peculier smell, half way up the first climb. Yes you guessed it I fried my clutch :butt: . So after being towed by my mates vit to a carpark we awaited the AA, while we waited a RAC van turns up with a frelander in tow, same problem :lol: always seems funnier when its someone else. :lol: So my great day out was spent waiting in a car park , hohum. Just bought a clutch kit from rollings £147 inc vat :shock: . £80 cheaper than Halfords. Just got to fit it now, any advice or surgestions wud be helpful. :) :) :)

Well after spending 2 hrs on my back yesterday swearing at stubborn bolts ive decided 2 put it in a garage :butt: . Been told it'l cost £180 so not too bad as Im supplying the clutch kit. Shud be back on the road in a couple off days. :dance: The job itself looks a lot easier on the 2.0 sport with the body lift as opposed to the 2.8 were the exhaust has to be removed. Live and learn.
enjoy it while you can. steve.
