Clutch slave has gone.

Dunno reckon if I had found all the other ball bearings it could have been patched up!

You think?, surely some duct tape would need to be added, it can fix anything

Exactly, with wd40 and duct tape any challenge can overcome.

Dont know if Davemgt is busy but he helped me with mine when it went. Top bloke, but if he has time is another thing. Least you are paying someone you trust who know what they are doing.

If I didnt have exams at the moment I'd help as after seeing it done once its not a tricky job.

Cheers for the offer Jay! these things never seem to happen at the most appropiate times, you should know that haha.. having helped/watched Mick swap his gearbox out on his ZS a while back its not something i would be afraid of attempting with some expierienced help, but Im rather short of free time at the moment with work being so busy so it easier to send it away and get it done, will hurt the old wallet though im sure!

This is a very kind offer Rob thank you, I may well ask for your assistance in the future

A little update for anyone interested:
6 weeks later and Ive still not got the car back yet, really missing the V6 and cant wait to get her back. Ive been having a big problem sourcing a lightened flywheel and only last week found (thanks to the mechanics at the garage fixing my car) a race engineering company locally that will lighten the existing flywheel for me.

Hoping that I will have the car back either the tail end of this week or most likely next week. Should be a lot nicer to drive with the newly fitted flywheel and the Sheddist kit. plus Ive got a BMC CDA enclosed air filter and oil catch tank to fit when it comes back!
so Ive finally got something good to look forward to in what has been a difficult few weeks/months on a personal level.



Cheers,
Matt
