That cool, thought it was quite a nice price especially when its a proper clutch too rather than some cheap nasty drivetec or national clutch.
He does usually look after me too. That's including fitting the replacement cylinder too.

That's cool Dan, when I was writing it I was thinking if it'd been a few weeks ago then I may have been able to get it before Red went. One of those things as usual.

The throttle cable may be too slack, they can be a pita to get set up just right.

The cable is actually wound off as much as it can be and is still keeping the throttle body and butterfly too tight when not depressed. I mean that it struggles to close the throttle flap fully as its always under tension from the cable seeming to be too short. Its been an ongoing issue but the temp fixes and remedys are now not fixing it for long enough and its really starting to wind me up.

Thanks for the advice on that though and also the link
