:censored: Eurocarparts. Ordered a part with them on Tuesday now I ring to see if they have it in - guess what? They havent even ordered it, and best yet, can't even order it! Not a part they can supply!

Hey Leon, hows tricks mate? Heard you were having Westec do some stuff on yer car. They did a RR on mine 2 weeks ago and I was well pleased with the results.
The next combe is RS Owners day on 7 July mate. Try and make it coz I just love making RS owners faces go red on the way there and home, lol!!!
Mine is still running, but just slipping in 4th and 5th so I'm still using it mate.
Hopefully this place in Llantrisant will do the business for me

Just had an email from Badger5 in Gloucester about replacing my clutch. They say -
"Hello
We can arrange fitment of a suitable clutch yes. It would require a new flywheel to go upgraded, to single mass flywheel from dual mass you currently have.
Clutch price for VR6 based clutch would offer some options on OE spec or upgraded, but VR6 is larger uprated clutch over ibiza's original.
SPEC is the upgraded clutch we would offer suitable for plenty of bhp/torque

~£600+vat for this upgrade depending on confirming spec"

So these things ain't cheap guys!!!

He's using my Escort coz his Rovers' starter motor has gone. No way he's using my Skyline, lol.
RS Owners is always a good day. Just watch out for 5-0 and their cameras on the country lanes. There's usually 2/3 of 'em. I guess you'll be coming with us though will you?
Hope I can get my clutch sorted b4 then!!

Guest

I can't say I been toooooooooooo impressed with 'em tbh.

avoid westec like the plaugue, stitched me up on the exhaust previously, as said phil wont really adbuse them because he loves the grant loving :whistle::lol:

picked up my van today, you can all piss yourself laughing at the pics later :doh:

Gareth in dubusiness is a great guy, work is top quality although he does occasionally suffer from what i like to call "moody *******" syndrome :lol: as stan said best bet is to go and see him face to face and he'll look after you, i get the feeling he gets hundreds of ppl phoning for prices without even having work done so if you go and see him it all gets sorted x10 quicker

Lambda sensor ordered online 70 quid delivered!

Sorry I didnt answer the phone last night dave, I was having a wank. Seemed inappropriate ;)

Well neither Westec or Gareth in Dubusiness got back to me, so I'll probably be taking it to Badger5 who not only replied, but did the remap etc on the car so I guess they 'know it' as such....or may have its' details on computer somewhere.
I appreciate all the help you guys have given...cheers.
Hope to meet some of you soon. Gissa shout for future meets coz no doubt I'll turn up!!
