I guess it's a case of watch this space, I can't think it will hang around long.

Private plates have also been taken off so original reg is back on EA07 CCY

Thanks

Morning all,

https://vimeo.com/824482547

Can you see if that link works please?

I had a guy come look at the car over the weekend - absolutely loved it until it came to pressing down the clutch where he was concerned about the ‘whine’
I said its been like that since ive owned it - doesnt affect the driving or gear changes - I just took it as part of the car! The noise hasnt changed or gotten louder at all, theres no crunch or clunk etc.
My garage mentioned it also a couple of years back & said to keep an eye on if it affects driving in which case we’d then diagnose & repair it however it literally hasn’t changed or affected it at all.
I’m not shy in repair work or maintenance as my receipts & the car proves!
I’m sort of stuck now in terms of what to do next & what is a fair price as I thought £6k was fairly priced for the work i’ve done. I’ll check with my garage on Wednesday for their thoughts but again I suspect its a case of ‘when it affects driving we’d advise diagnosing & repair’.

Would encourage your thoughts or offers as I’m torn now between keeping it & repairing it myself when it is time as opposed to selling at a massively reduced price for something that hasnt affected driving - I would have repaired it if it had.

Thanks

Clutch release bearing noise.
Nothing major in my eyes. Very easy to change a clutch on these if the new owner is that bothered.

Hi Ash,

Hi Rax,

This will likely mean it needs a clutch kit and flywheel in the near future to fully resolve the issue which isn’t going to be cheap. I am still somewhat interested let’s see what happens with the MOT this week and what your garage say about it.

Morning!

Update - I’ve accepted an offer from a buyer who was interested in undertaking the MOT / Service / Clutch noise issue themselves so we managed to agree a fair price to reflect.

Thanks for your interest & advice everyone :)
