Cool,
Please read on!!
After a quick PM to summeh (cheers lad) i think i have now finally gotten to the bottom of my constant clutch cable snappage (he says again!!)
I have a valeo clutch fitted which i thought, good plan at the time of the last one going pop, factory issued shouldnt be a prob. However summeh seems to think they are weak, maybe the springs? And they seem to get real tight when the engine gets hot, arounf fan kicking in temp, especially when in traffic etc and the car becomes difficult to drive, especially going to reverse!! :evil:
summeh seems to get the same symptoms as me hence my diagnostics
So...
Im not paying some twat £550 to do it again like last time.
How hard and big a job? Whats involved? Estimated time of doing?
The mush who does big jobs on my 16v has it down on his computer as a 14hour job??
I dont pretend to be some super car technician but ive done plenty on the 16v and feel more than capable so please enlighten me.........!!
Cheers for reading!
Oh and what clutch do we recommend?!!
Its only running an induction kit & straight through mongoose!! :o :evil: :(
