Why?
Are RStuning still going?!
We should arrange. I vote for Jim (Leeds_182), because he isn't in Leeds and doesn't own a 182.
And we were doing so well!!!!! Arrrrgggh.
Went for a spin after resolving most of the niggles and could smell burning rubber or plastic. And the suspected clutch noise was getting worse! It didn't seem to matter whether the clutch was in or out either!
