not even 255 :( more like 300 now bugger
price of the clutch has jumped from 85 all in, to like 130+vat

but great news is that my problems have definitly been down to the clutch plate, managed to get a pic of it and as u can see its almost as smooth as a babies bottom..

Ryan, the bloke doing the work, who iv learnt was made redundent by Newport Volkswagon after a good service there and has made it his sole purpose to take as much business from dealers as possible, said that it wouldnt have seen past the end of this year on standard power, let alone revo'd after a couple 1/4 mile runs


theyre taking care of it though for me, the garage is now locked up with my car inside, hes even gonna tighten up my splitter as its sagged down abit in the middle

all in all im abit happier now and other than the price of the new clutch, everything is ok

Glad its getting sorted Carl.

Phil did you get the road angel, through the other site?? I've been thinking about getting one for a while, but gotta sort out a laptop, and some cupboards.

just got car back now!

clutch is sorted car feels quicker now :D the clutch pedal is so light its hard to control at first cos i was so used to it being heavy! came to £300 though doh!

unfortunatly they didnt do the downpipe cos one of the studs snapped :cry: gonna book it back in the end of this week to get that sorted. it aint blowing at the moment and car feels great, but they'll have to heat it up to sort it but they should be able to do it easy enough

So what do you do with a ****ed up fiesta?

Jam it in the back of a shiteron belingo

Then drive round the welsh valleys looking for random skips to chuck it in
