Its at a garage in Brighouse called J C Bates Would be best ringing to find out a price off Richard Link some other members on here use the garage also and give a very good review, Elisha-The-Cooper is one of them

I cant find one part of my wheel, as posted above i have had them apart cleaning them up ready for the new shiny car,

Note to self: be more careful with wheels that are in bits

Not been a good day today,

Whilst in the body shop i asked the garage if they would look to find out what a squealing noise was when i pressed ed the clutch, so they did

Clutch plate almost all worn off





Which had been making heat which then Got my nice billit steel flywheel and backplate hot and sent it blue





Which in turn caused wear on the bronze washer thing on the end of the transfer gear (which has worn away) causing a lip to be cut into the gear



So thats another load of ££££ needed and possably a re-build

Not a happy bunny

Mate, itll be fine. At least you found it now and not halfway to germany!
