Got a throttle body in the shed if you need one.

Your mate isn't the guy selling his 180 on .org by any chance ?

Oh no, he bought that off of my mate and is now selling on. I don't really know the guy that's got it now but he is not the guy I'm talking about.

May take you up in the throttle body Dan, just have to see what happens when the new cable gets fitted. If better hopefully wont need it but if not may need to try that again. Are you in a rush to get rid of it or actively trying to sell it at present?

Just sat in the shed mate - just let me know if you want it and I'll dig it out.

Yes make sure it's a V6 clutch not a 4 pot. That is a flipping good price, i was quoted £400plus.

I know what your all saying. It is a genuine 180 clutch and release bearing as I've seen them and they were originally bought to fit to his earlier this year but didnt need it. He basically has let me have the clutch kit for £100 and fitting is £150 and they have done several including his dads late last year.
He's my very close mate and best man in march too so he won't be screwing me over and will be doing and fitting exactly what's been said.
He wouldn't hear the end of it otherwise

maxtherotti will become famous soon enough
To be fair at mates rates £150 is a little over for fitting a clutch on a 180
its a mornings work
but at £250 all in inc gen clutch defo a good price

£250 is a bargain, I paid £315 all in a couple of months ago using Mr Clutch, that includes a 2 year 25000 warranty.
