1st Brighton Run 2007!

yup. Gotta call up Tilton tonight and see what they want me to do with it.

I can only see them asking for it to be sent back as there are no Tilton places other than the one in Cali. SO postage on that is gonna be a lot.

Then I would imagine paying for them to look at it, and repair it if required, then also pay to send it back.

You should tell them what they can do with it, and where they can shove it

Seriously mate, can you not get your hands on a different clutch, fit it and see if something else is wrong first? What a PITA!!

[cantfindausername]

Well I'm gonna have to try and sort something. I'm gonna be well out of pocket whatever happens.

If it goes back to them then I might see if there is someone local who is stripping their 2 for a rebuild, to see if I can borrow their flywheel, bolts, clutch, release bearing, slave cylinder and gearbox.

Quite a tall order, but you never know...

[Leon.]

Didn't realise you needed a different gearbox too

If you waited long enough you could fit my clutch and flywheel and release bearing etc as I've got a replacement... or if you wanted to fit my new one for me you could have the old one!!

[cantfindausername]

lol thanks for the offer of doing the work on your car. Don't think I could take the stress of someone elses though, hence looking for someone with them already out.

Main reason I need another gearbox is becuase to fit the HRB you need to cut down the pilot tube which is where the release bearing sits.

SO I either go through the motions of getting a replacemnt bell housing, or just swap the entire box. Borrowing a box is the cheaper of the 2 options at the mo.

All depends what they say though.

They might say tuff shizel, nothing we can do. They might say we'll send you a replacement FOC.

[Leon.]

If you have done everything to the book, and everything they can suggest (which I know you have) then they have to send you a new one. Insist!!

If it turns out it was your mistake with fitting then fair enough that you have to pay for shipping the new/old one back to them, or just sell it here, or lie to them

Good luck

[cantfindausername]

No need to lie. I'm confident in what I've done. They're out of ideas too, so will be interesting to see what they suggest.

Might tell them that I'm in a race season and need the clutch asap to see if they can send me one before I send this one back.

Will have to play it by ear I guess. [-o<

[cantfindausername]

When isn't there smut at an MR2 meet?

It wouldn't bean MR2 meet if there wasn't smut!

[Leon.]

You rang?

[cantfindausername]

I think the smut award actually goes to Alex... he's just wrong on so many levels.... unlike me

[Leon.]

You're right, he is a level above the rest, and I thought I was bad

I never go too far with people I don't know that well, Alex doesn't give a xxxx

[cantfindausername]

Same here... I'm always shy, quiet and reserved when around those people

[Vindezal]
