No, suppose i could try that for now but doubt it would help in the long run

I'll nip to a garage on the way home see what they think.

I'd say from what your telling us that the clutch or bearing has had it :cry: :cry: , If your going to need it changing it's going to cost about £250-£300 labour depending on who's doing it and another £400 in parts ie new clutch and £40 bearing.

But I could be wrong so I'd get it checked by someone that knows these cars. If you do have to drop the engine it maybe worth changing the clutch master cylinder while the engine is out and it's easy to get too :wink: .

As Rob say, it sounds like your release bearing have had it :cry:

I would not get a lightened flywheel if your not doing the crank as you won't see the full benefits of spening money on a lightened flywheel.

Also, removing the aircon is a 30 min job. Bring your car round with some Stella and a new belt and i'll remove it for ya :wink:

Pointless just getting the fork done while its all out. May aswell get the lot done as you can bet if you dont it wont be long before something goes.

May aswell get the cluch changed depending on how worn it is. The labour cost is in getting the engine/box out, its not going to cost you much more to get it all swapped, apart from in parts.
Anything else thats servicable on the back of the engine is worth swopping whilst its out. Ive just had a hose go on the back, most of them look impossible to do with the engine in situ :( . Worth checking what condition the knock sensors in aswell as thats v.awkward to swop when the engines in.

did you have similar problems Andy as I'm having at the mo?
I had difficulty engaging mine into gears and every time i selected reverse it crunched. It turned out to be a knackard clutch fork and slave cyinder.

do the slave cylinder too then, Ian' ll probably advise you too anyway as when your new master cylinder starts pumping it might find a weak spot :shock: :(
