any pointers would be a great help

The mechanic who changed my clutch recently said that its normally the clutch plate "dragging"(worn) that makes it difficult to get in gear. Get it checked out soon, or the gear linkages will probably come off and leave you without being able to select any gears. (see one of my posts) Do you know ho...

Which balljoint need changing?

Thanks Steve, another one of those little easy jobs that turns into a much bigger one!

Went to change my rear pads earlier as it had stopped raining, as i thought it would be easy (changed front discs and pads well easy) Read through the guides on here, started first side, all went well, removed pins and pads, the piston went back in no problem. Then the caliper would not move, so the...

Sorry did not look at the make, so cant help, i nearly took it and boxed it up and sent it to Mr Clutch with all the information. But thought not much point as was not done my me. But everyone i talk to seems to say they use poor quality parts and dont always change the complete kit, so beware. Sach...

Got my car back today, all fixed, after my saga with the clutch. So glad i decided to get it fixed. At last i have found a reliable, really helpful mechanic, with good rates; Motorwize in Hartley Wintney dropped the car off this morning, was lent a car foc, just add fuel, clutch all changed and whil...

Thats cool, with my other thread about my clutch change, seem to be getting mixed signals from garages. As they are quoting based on 7 hours labour, but can get a clutch from eurocarparts for £70 and they have looked and dont belive it will take 7 hours to change, what the computer says, so will cha...

Does this have a dual mass flywheel?

linkages all done, so can change gear again now....but clutch is worn out, so he is going to give me a discounted price as he did not fix it, so will wait and see what price he comes up with. might just cut my losses as the price seems to vary anything from £300 up to £450 and if the dual mass flywh...

Hi Just changed mine recently, had no problems with the caliper bolts or slider bolts. Had to drill one of the disc screws out, but there was enough left to undo with a screwdriver to knock it round. Or should be enough to grip with mole grips after the disc is off. Had to hammer the discs off as th...

Hi, The two No3 and No 4 linkages need replacing as in the diagram above. the No 3 are £12 each , the No 4 is £18, unforunately the No 4 is not in stock at my local Stealers, but will be in Thursday, so will be all back up and running friday. Fitting will be about £65 so pretty good and the guys is ...

Thanks guys for all the advice, i have a mobile mechanic out tomorrow morning to have a look and find out the problem He says it will be a linkage problem, probably a ball joint come off. May need replacing depending how bad it is

Thanks guys for the information, going have a look in the morning and see if i can do anything, otherwise have to get a mobile mechanic out to have a look and fix it.
