So you love the car but its got niggles, as soon as you sort the niggles you are going to sell it even though you love it and it will no longer have the niggles. Doesnt really make sense to be honest.
Not being funny just saying its probably not the best way to get people interested and a quick sale. Shame because I bet its a lush car

Shame you feel like this.

Think the garage mucking you about didnt help.

My clutch is weird, I went to Santa Pod which didnt help it, but if I treat it gently for a bit it stops slipping and its OK until I miss a gear change, or really floor it. I priced it up and got a price of £325 all in, incl 10,000 miles or 1 year warranty.

Hope you can get it sorted, or best of luck if you move it on.

£325 or thereabouts is the right sort of money for a clutch. I paid 300 last year all in.

A bit knee-jerk isn't it? Get it sorted and all's well. We all have off-days with our cars, got to take the rough with the smooth young man!

This is very unlike you Stephen. Don't get wound up mate! Get it all fixed up and running sweet and then drive it around a bit before making any rash decisions. Once you sell it on you WILL regret it.........just like ALL owners do even if going for another one.

As has already been said, we all have off days, some more than others but the cars generally are good. Most are simple to fix compared to new ones out there from PSA, GM or Ford......I'm sure you can get the car how you want it
