I can't believe the price of a P2 clutch / Flywheel

**V70 Graham** · Tuesday 19th June 2012, 10:07

Hopefully a better outcome today mate, fingers crossed.

**y2blade** · Tuesday 19th June 2012, 10:23

Everything crossed here for you

**ploppy** · Tuesday 19th June 2012, 11:03

Good luck Mr P

fingers crossed for you...

When I had a p2 V70 D5 main stealers charged me £2220 for it, cars milage was around 130,000..

However , knowing alot of roads policing units they will also confirm many clutch and dmf replaced as low as 30,000 miles !!

Im pleased with my ex plod V70 T5 p2, the day will come for me , reaching 188,000 !!

Good luck

I wish...

Well... I just phoned them (cos it's been all bloody day)
They've been out for a test drive in her and they're waiting for her to cool down so they can check the fluid levels

More updates as and when

**M-R-P** · Tuesday 19th June 2012, 16:55

**jbconno** · Tuesday 19th June 2012, 19:20

He's either out enjoying it or its broken down !

**MattM** · Tuesday 19th June 2012, 19:20

Good news mate. Enjoy the new feel to the clutch

**M-R-P** · Tuesday 19th June 2012, 21:31

So, the Big Sweed is back on the road and far better than ever. the clutch is now so light, I thought there was something wrong with it to start with. The bite point is right down, about an inch from the bottom (that's how it feels). It's so different that I nearly stalled a few times this evening.
here's some pics of the crispy fried clutch components...

The mechanic, Jason (Bless him, he cancelled his day off to finish the job) said that it looks like its been slipping a lot, hence the scortching. I wonder how much whp I've been losing through that fragged friction lining...
Any way, top marks to E.A.S. Garage services for going above and beyond the call of duty and not only getting my lovely car back on her feet (wheels), but honouring their original quote. Jason is a very skilled lad and did a top job. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
470 miles till I can play...
Happy days

**p fandango** · Tuesday 19th June 2012, 21:38

nice one, i think you should do a little burn-out to celebrate lol

**V70 Graham** · Tuesday 19th June 2012, 21:40

Glad to see this story has a happy ending.

**ploppy** · Tuesday 19th June 2012, 21:53

Great News !! Well done that man ..

**Harvey** · Tuesday 19th June 2012, 21:55

I bet you are a happy man now,bet your glad that you didn't try this at home.

**oblark** · Tuesday 19th June 2012, 22:19

It`s a great feeling when you get these old girls back on the road.

**M-R-P** · Tuesday 19th June 2012, 23:18

She's very different to drive, in a good way. I always thought the gearbox was worn because getting into 1st and reverse was often difficult and general shifting was always slow and clunky. Smooth as a cashmere sausage now

There's also less vibration at idle and pulling away is cleaner too.

**S1mon** · Tuesday 19th June 2012, 23:28

Chuffed for you mate!! Such a good feeling when you get your car back and can phisically feel a big improvement. ALMOST justifies the £££!

I'm dreading the day my D5 clutch goes...only on 78k though so I think I've got a while to go!! (I hope!) still trying to decided if I should get it remapped or if that'll tempt clutch fate.
