got my landy back after the clutch decided at 150miles old it no longer wanted to live in my gearbox, it got together with the thrust bearing for some clutch fluid but in a gearbox brawl the thrust bearing ended up mashed to a pulp and on life support, it passed away when friction plate finally turned off its life support but before departing it got karma on the clutch plate. the following day the gearbox decided it was getting off the back of the damn engine it was on only to reveal the shady past that it was hiding of a murder and 2 cases of abh. its currently serving time with with another friction plate clutch cover and thrust bearing back where it belongs, behind a 300tdi lump!
lesson learned britpart clutchs suck balls!

hard lesson learned bud.
yup, fortunatly had a reasonable condition valeo clutch on another engine, combined with a nippon branded thrust bearing it should be ok.
I shall be sending this 'heavy duty' clutch back to paddocks as im not overly impressed with the quality, even if nothing comes of it it saves it sitting in my pile of rubbish and they may access the fact that these chinese copy clutch are pretty damn useless.

Received a shiny new Terrafirma front exhaust downpipe today (decat) to fix my blowing exhaust. So decided to do it this evening. Gave all the bolts a good blast with Plusgas and left it 20 mins for it to work. First step was removing the front crossmember, all bolts came out fine despite heavy corrosion, except the last one.. sheered off.. grr...
Removed the three manifold nuts from below, they were stiff but thankfully no dramas. Same with the exhaust to middle silencer bolts. Removed the down pipe after some fiddling around manoeuvring it.
Tried to fit the new one, but nope.. it just won't go.
Therefore decided hell with it will remove the middle crossmember to give me more access to wiggle it around. Here is where the fun started.
Removed five bolts but on the remaining three the captive nuts spin uselessly inside the crossmember. Of course they are a spanner size I do not possess look like they are 11mm. Going to go buy an open ended 11mm spanner tomorrow and see if I can squeeze it into the tight gap to reach the nuts. Failing that I guess I will have to look for some one to tack weld the nuts back into place.
Also decided, whilst the front crossmember and the downpipe are off I may as well replace the water pump bolt and the seeping sump gasket. So more work tomorrow.

Leaks an prone to bits dropping off
Clutch fitted, O/D and handbrake swapped. Having a coffee before refitting box. Quietly confident as it looks very much like a recent recon, certainly the mainshaft is new
