bad news, I think my clutch is on it's way out, as I'm getting a fair bit of clutch judder, mainly in first and reverse, and the bite is near enough right at the top But the clutch isn't slipping

I've checked the fluid, and it's on the max mark, and apparently there is no adjustment either

Don't fancy getting to Germany and the clutch decides to let go!

Just a thought

Don't worry mate, I'm not backing out, it'll be done by then, just going for the worse case scenario.

After a few calls to roger clark, scoobyclinic, I've found out that my has has the larger 230mm clutch, got an 350BHP uprated clutch sorted, and when I change it, I'll skim the flywheel at work (it's handy being an engineer )

As there's no adjustment on the clutch, I'm going to change the fluid tomorrow, and check the basics first before I go ahead and change the bugger

€180 a lap, but can take 3, so €60 per lap per person. Not to bad.

The Taxis get fully booked around a year in advance, but they do sometimes get cancellations.

Ordered an uprated black diamond clutch today, hopefully the weather will improve soon, so I can fit it, should just be enough time to get it bedded in, in time

phoned Knowlesy today, and he's on standby judging by the weather reports, I don't fancy changing the clutch on the drive, plus I can't argue with his price for fitting either
