HDi Clutch Change Price?

[Toms306]

Swear you did srowells clutch a while back or something tom?

Yeah I did the diablo clutch as I've said twice in the thread now, I think Dave must've missed it.

We did clutch and cable, however that was on his nans hardstanding driveway with a car port, not my muddy sloping mess of a drive! plus no one needed that car, and I still had my own car to drive about (well until the golf died, that's why it took us so long as I couldn't get to Sams!).

I don't understand why people have nightmares, it's not a hard job it just takes time and you need to be methodical.

Tom you'll chuck money up the wall going to a dealer, why not wait for a weekend where Rowell is back so that at least if you need yo fetch a part he's around.

It takes strength as well which is something I don't have, I absolutely hate popping bottom ball joints for example. And manouvring the gearbox alone isn't something that looks easy because of the odd angles you have to get it from. Then there's other pain in the ass jobs, I know the intermediate will be seized in now, like it was on the diablo, and also on JJs HDi (it took me and Dum about halt an hour to get that bugger off! Even after the engine was out!). And the cable bung is impossible, rowells still isn't in, and won't be unless we rip out the ac pipes while doing the fmic.

I can't do it at a weekend as I'll need the garage drive which mum would be using. Will have to be done in one day while she's at work. I'm not sure if Rowell just comes home for weekends, but even if he did it wouldn't really work. If he came over as soon as i asked, that'd be 45 mins, then an hour round trip for both of us to get parts, plus day 15 mins actually getting them.....that's 2 hours wasted and there's only like 6 hours of light atm! Anyone thinking of moving to Tue arse end.of no where, really don't bother, its shit.

I think the actual clutch is about 30min tops hehe...

Only if you're slow, its only 6 bolts!

It only took me 15 mins (while Sam went for a haircut....) And I managed to put the centre plate in backwards first time. that was the very thing I was trying to avoid as well!
