Re: MK1 Juddering when pulling away

So its not that hard to do really and shouldn't take more than an hour or two.


Depending how reluctant the caliper is to let go of the torque plate... you might need a rubber mallet.

We had to resort to taking the torque plate off, some concrete blocks, a tyre lever, and a bucket of hot water...

Nice one? - are you sure you're looking at the right one!! Mine is the silver rust bucket with the big dent in the drivers side front wing :)

Re: mk1 clutch replacement

Cheers for the help - Did it this morning

Clutch is now much smoother, and hardly any slippage (clutch itself is probably boned - but at least it's a lot easier to drive now).

Re: Every Wednesday @8.30-late, Live For Speed online racing!

Blackwood is the only track available to Demo users, although there are more in S1 and even more in S2 (whenever that comes out).

How many people who race reg. are using the demo, and how many have the full versions?

I have S1.

Re: Every Wednesday @8.30-late, Live For Speed online racing!

More good racing last night. CJB and I had some good racing for a few laps a couple of times, before one of us made a mistake. I distributed my setup to people, it's highly compromised - i.e. if you run off into the gravel and stop, it can be hard to get out again, it's also pretty rubbish for the t...

Re: mk1 clutch replacement

Still goes into gear ok, well, as well as it always did :) - the more I read, the more I think it's the hydralics somewhere, since it was ok again when I went out at lunch. The problem was more like when changing gear while accelerating, you put your foot down, change gear, take your foot off the cl...

Re: mk1 clutch replacement

Gah, that probably does for it then. The plugs are well and truley stuck in place, when I wanted to change the oil in the box shortly after we bought it, I had a good go at them, (WD40, PlusGas, Long extension on a breaker bar), all to no avail... I shall have to sort that first then, off to Machine...

mk1 clutch replacement

Pulled away this morning, my foots off the clutch, but it's still engaged/coming off the clutch... oh dear. So, few questions : - Is it likley to be the clutch itself, or the slave cylinder, or air in the hydraulics? - If i'm going to take the clutch off anyway to replace, it is worth replacing the ...

Re: What is it about the '2'

Good grief...

Can you buy an evo for a few hundred quid? Will it be cheap to insure and run? Will it do 140'000miles+ before it gives up?

Just out of interest :)
