right my clutch is gone and i have no way of getting to work. what is the quickest and cheapest solution for fixing a clutch i here a garage will be roughly 300 pounds but is it something i could have a go at myself???

[miniman207]

its easy enough to do yourself, you preferably want to take the engine out to do it as its a *Female doggy* to get to, a good old trusty haynes manual always helps!!
only problem is if you need it for work your not gonna get the parts in time!!!

dont i need something called a puller to remove the flywheel or something??

[miniman207]

yes you will do as i found when i used a different puller and knackered the thread and had to borrow a tap to rethread!!!
think they cost £25 ill find 1 for you hang on

i cant think of anything else i would want now that i have driven a mini everthing else seems to drive rubbish!!

[miniman207]

thats the thing i havnt had chance to drive mine yet as i cant get it working properly everytime i fix 1 thing something else goes wrong!!

[davexdavexdave]

yeah believe me i know the feeling i take it you have just passed your test too then?

[davexdavexdave]

i passed my test then it all started going wrong and now since ive had it some thing has gone wrong every week!!

[miniman207]

i past my test 3 years ago, got a fiesta, then mk5 escort then vauxhall nova GSi then a BMW 320. Unfortunately i was stupid and drink drove, altho i was only 4 mg over the allowed 80!! i got banned for a year, now all i can afford insurance wise is a mini. i love em now and cant wait to get it going so i can fit another 1 in, this 1 is costing my loads tho!

[davexdavexdave]

[miniman207]
