Does your car cause problems at the most inopportune times

So get the family into the car yesterday to go to my Mother in laws for dinner and there is a god awful whining noise.

Of course Christmas day when no place is open till after boxing day Having to go out and get my clutch release bearing replaced

no clutch, no mother in law...where is there a problem here?

You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)
My Life ROCKS!
How's yours doing?

Sounds like a great excuse . . .

Seriously, though, what a pain. Sorry your car packed up on you on Christmas.

My little Ford has 211K miles on the factory clutch. I keep waiting for trouble, but none so far. >>

This is the Thing |Folks i get on well with My Mother in law i now i now its unheard of . hate missing a feed as its always good and looked forward too.

Car still runs but i don't want to do what i did wit my Hyundai Santa Fe last years Ran it a bit too long and the Clutch went but took the flywheel with it doubled the repair cost.


thing has a warranty anyway its just i will have to phone and check stuff when all i want to do is put my feet up on the couch with a beer or at the top of a hill had planned to do some sale shopping for a new set of hillwalking boots to go with My new crampons

Heck yeah. All those years of driving those little fragile British cars makes you easy on a clutch.

If it's the throw out bearing it's also chewed up the fingers on the pressure plate, so you're looking at a full clutch job; bearing, plate and disc. On the plus side, the flywheel should be fine. BTW, flywheels can be turned, just like brake discs and drums.

As i say John its timing more than anything, i missed the one good feed of the year (wife did not get her mums cooking skills but keep that to yourself )

Most places are closed , surprise hopefully they might be open tomorrow. As i say it should be cheaper than the last time i got one replaced when it took out the flywheel .

Most cars out there now have MIL's built in...
