    The clutch...

    I would just like to say a massivly huge thank-you to daza-b and smithson for fitting my vlutch on Saturday, I don't think any of us expected it to be as bad of a job as it was but we pushed through and got it done in the end! The amount of money I could afford to give them was tiny in comparison to the effort and graft that they put in on saturday and thanks to them there is another t5 manual saloon still on the streets so again lads, thank you!

    Your welcome mate. It was a pig of a job but we had a laugh while doing it too. I think I could tackle another one now. The clutch went on in a matter of mins and so did the gearbox once me and Tom had some body parts wedged under it. Daz was to busy getting gased out. Lol.
