British car ??

Hi there Sounds 100% clutch worn out I changed mine a few years ago - unfortunately that doesnt help you as i am in france its not difficult - i followed the instructions in RAVE including taking the IRD off. Biggest problem i had was getting the gearbox back on due to the weight of the...

Thanks HTR what size press do you need to get the front wheel bearings in ?? will a big bench vice do the trick ??

are you sure you got all of the oil out of the air piping and intercooler ?
