[Chris_Beer]

Code sept45 mate now active

 

[Stay Puft]

Legend, thanks mate, takes it to £61.

@Chris_Beer is this the right one? Premium should be Valeo?

Beat me to it! However the one I got was code CAR44

Yup! This is what I ended up with in 2013/4:

Maybe worth a phone call to confirm nothings changed though!

Cheers mate. Ordered a bit earlier, but just called and they said it will be ''Valeo UK or Sachs''.

 

[Chris_Beer]

As long as it isn't transmech!

Will feel great with a Valeo in there

 

[Feirny]

If £425 is cheap, i won't say what i was charged. Makes that sound extortionate. Only paid £40 for the clutch though.

Just been quoted £160 at kind of mates rates. 75w80 or 75w90?

75w80 GL5, I think.

Go for the Elf NFJ on eBay @Davyy £25 delivered for 3L and it's decent

That's the one.

 

[Chris_Beer]

Let us know what turns up from GSF dude

 

[Feirny]

GSF one will 100% be a Valeo.

 

[Stay Puft]

Gearbox oil arrived Monday, but still no sign of the clutch.. 😧

Just rang them, they said 'the clutch went out from our Birmingham office on Monday morning, but was returned to depot on Monday night because they loaded too many parcels onto the truck, so it will be on its way today' .. doh!

 

[Stay Puft]

@Chris_Beer @Feirny

Valeo goodies, yay.

 

[Budgie]

I'm assuming there's another piece of the clutch kit you haven't pictured.

if not, you're missing a pretty important bit.

 

[JamesBryan]

Lol where's the clutch 😂

I guess (hope) it's this bit.. was hiding underneath.

Yeah that's the pressure plate.

 

[JamesBryan]

That's it.

 

[Stay Puft]

Wahoo, you had me worried. Booked in for 9am tomorrow.

 

[Chris_Beer]

The funny thing is no one noticed my photo without the clutch when i said this what you will get lol

 

[Stay Puft]

What's the blue thing, out of interest? And is the small thing the release bearing, the thing that's causing my grief?

 

[Budgie]

Release bearing, yep.

The shiny silver part taps into the flywheel of the car, then you use the blue tool to align the clutch plate. You can do it by eye pretty easily, but the tool makes it pretty simple.

 

[bloke]

the extra bits are for people who don't know how to line a clutch up:wink:

 

[Chris_Beer]

Makes it piece of piss with those other bits. Box slid on first time on my own working on the floor in my street :up:

 

[Stay Puft]

Just had a text saying the subframe bolts were fucked so they had to cut them out and replace them, taking hour and a half so it's going to be an extra £40. Joys!

They've made hard work of that TBH. If it's the front ones, you can get a swan neck spanner into the top of the bolt. If it's rears, you can get a spanner on them also.

Meh, as long as the car comes back right, no problems for £40.

 

[JamesBryan]

They do rust up to f**k those bolts.

Breaking my mates Ph1 the other week we just about managed to get them out. The impact gun made it worse as it was trying to round the head, but a breaker bar got them out ok.

 

[Stay Puft]

Just went to drive off and drove straight back. Gears feel out of place and struggled to find reverse. Currently adjusting gear linkages apparently.

Neutral:

Fifth:

 

[JamesBryan]

Did they not test it?

 

[Stay Puft]

They told me to be there for 4, i got there at 10 to as they were putting the airbox on. They did say 'sorry mate would have driven it up and down the road if you werent here'.

All done now though and feels amazing, so soft. I always thought a hard peddle was a good thing!

Old clutch:

 

[LeeRS]

Who done the work for you just out of interest. And cost.
pm if you want.

 

[Chris_Beer]

The linkage shouldn't of changed if they disconnected at right place IMO

Bumping up an old thread!

Im purchasing a new clutch shortly and wondered if anyone has a discount code for GSF I could use please?
