Re: It's us, but French!

Having lived in Frogland for 5 years I can advise that if you go onto their forums spouting off in English, they'll give you a hard time. If you make any effort at all to speak in French........ they'll welcome you with open arms, and will often reply in fairly good English. Its much the same as ove...

Re: Your Favourite Tool - When changing a clutch

My dog nicks my tools :evil: If the shed door is left open the bugger gets in there and anything with a rubber or wooden handle gets dragged behind his favourite bush, and then gets Boris'd (chewed to ****) Favourite tool when doing ANY ...

Re: Clutch ~ Spring broken ?

i can sell you some puncturesafe that will protect you from most punctures! I'm consoling myself with the fact that I've got AA relay. If I get a puncture the AA man can either get the wheel off, or arrange to have me transported home - so its a win win as far as I'm concerned. If I do get a punctu...

Re: Clutch ~ Spring broken ?

It was previously owned by a farmer, who lived on the coast (as do I), so every nut/bolt fixing etc is corroded to hell and back.

Pull the slave cylinder out, put a rubber/latex/nitrile glove on, and use a bit of kitchen roll to clean the dent in the clutch fork (sorry, doesn't look like I put any pictures of it on my howto) which the cylinder pushes. Carefully cle...

Re: Clutch ~ Spring broken ?

My first thought was that it was a problem with the pedal, but after getting the wife to operate the clutch whilst I had a listen in the engine bay, I managed to track the noise down to the box itself. The bit I can't get my head around is why does the noise only happen with the engine running, and ...
