that the burning smell after driving and slippage in 3rd turns out the clutch needs replacing

There you go. Makes no odds then really. Might as well have a look :-)

but, even if it was a number of years ago the clutch plate has only done just over 20k and I can't see that all being down to having to do hill starts all the time

rare beast these days. Did it have the pressure fed primary gear and coil spring clutch?

Put my name down for the craic with the lads at camp, who have now bailed out haha. Might see if I can fundraise a bit of money for H4H or something

Its awesome. I've done it every year and will continue to! Do it for RAFBF if you can, H4H gets millions each year and lesser charities still need funding.

The mini! Yoko A048-R; too ocd to have mismatched tyres! Plus others would be a slightly different size.

Not the brook. Working outside on the ground in the pouring rain is no fun. Especially when were you need to lay is right on a drain

Typical, i have packed up for the day and it's dried up now. All day i have been poxing about with tarpaulins trying to keep the worst of the weather off me. I have had to change clothes 3 times too.
Oh well, the worst is over and tomorrow is going to be nice!

The garage is called chl, http://www.chlltd.co.uk/ looks like they have a website that has their contact details on. The main guy there is called Ian. Top bloke and is honest, if he says something needs doing its because it needs doing so yeah worth a try I guess :)
