I thought Tydesley had been turned into some sort of youth club, sounds like they nipped out for the pop and crisp run in your scoob, I might give them a miss.

I know that have to roadtest AWD cars, but 15 miles is excessive

Mine went through the other week at Blackmoor garage in Astley, but I did take one or two of my less legal mods off

I speak to her and get no response so I would'nt bother to much. I saw you go past and smiled when I realised my scoob was not the dirtiest around
Lynne swears that she waved to you.

Cheers Jay for the recommendation of Railway Motors, had an Exedy clutch fitted today, feels like a whole new car, service was great

Told me to take it easy with this one though, apparently the last one was burned out

No, kept the flywheel. No one does a lightened one for the Sport, so I'd have had to get that one skimmed or fit a standard one, so I left it, no real need to change it

Their rally car was outside when I dropped it off, how mean does that look

Yeah looks quite mean for a focus, it may have scooby running gear but it aint no scooby!!!

Is the sport flywheel not the same as the turbo? If so I have 2 that are spare (API were supposed to be collecting 1 of them after I had mine swapped)

£150 + VAT to fit, £300 + VAT to supply and fit. I dropped mine off first thing in the morning when they opened and it was done by dinnertime. I bought the clutch off ebay for £99 and got them to fit it. Saved a few quid and I know its a decent one. It's on Church Street in Westhoughton, right next to the train station.

Don't think the flywheel is the same, but I don't know for certain. Clutch and pretty much all the rest of the drivetrain is totally different, so I presume the flywheel is too.

TLT garages on Moss industrial estate in Lowton will do it for you, but it prob will involve removing other bits to put it on which could make it pricey alternately go to Tyldesley Tyres and Exhausts they are always decent at fitting them.

or have a go youself, easy enough to do if its a classic, just spray something like wd40 or some other penetrating fluid the day before. Should take less than 2 hours with a good few tea breaks in between!


Is the meet still on this week at asda on saturday? If so will have to clean my car and fix my boost leak
