bye bye clutch !!

[cat171]

the clutch went last nite on my valver, on the A127 on the way back from saarffend,

i was doing a bit of speed, went to change up a gear, and not much happened !!

i put it another gear & the revs flew up, so i guessed what had happened, the thing just went on me, i pulled over and it dont move !!

so last night i was on the slip rd 2 the M25 with 2 of my mates,at 1.30 am waiting 4 the green flag dudes to tow the b*stard home !

and a load of c*cks driving by tooting & wavin at us, b*stards !!

looks like a nice costly bill for me then !!

cable snapped? is the clutch on the floor?

 

[cat171]

no mate the cable is fine !!

i replaced that just over a year ago, its deffo the clutch !!

my dad reckons the thrust bearing may have collapsed, the car dont even move !!!

 

[cat171]

how much is this going to cost ?

i guess around £300 +

 

[Clart]

yup probly 350

unless you can do it yourself tho. wouldnt recommend it. its a bit tight. took us two days. clutch cost £60 and new gearbox oil £30. Hope you get it sorted!

Bugga. Unlucky mate. Mine cost me £250, parts and fitted. But that was a "cash job" at a local garage. Appartently its a good idea to fit the uprated R5 Race clutchs. But that may be complete rollox tho, cant remember!

one dude just quoted my dad £800 to do it !!

and reckoned reno will want 1200 !!!

i want a gold one for those prices,

i guess he will just have 2 keep ringing around for me !

also is there any, where local to romford, essex who is good,

i local reno specialist wants 500.00 !!

u have to remember i cant drive it aswell !! so its got ot be local !

 

[cat171]

btt....

reno want 975.00, its 97 ph labour !!

i knew they d cost a lot,

where else is there ??

do you not know anything? number one rule when owning a Renault is never take it back to the dealers for any work other than warrenty work.

You get charged a metric sh*tload of cash and they have to have it back another two time to actually do the job right. Buy the bits from http://www.eurocarparts.comwww.eurocarparts.com and if youre not mechanical minded (i know im not) go to a back street garage and get some cash prices.

Have you any mates that use garages? Any recomendations from family etc?
