Maybe it won't cause a problem, but I'm not going to take any chances when it comes to a clutch.

That th new one?

It is, yes. There was a hole in the side of the box, so I'm guessing it was put on its side and the flywheel slid and hit the CSC.

I’d definitely get that swapped out. You changing it yourself?

Probably... I've watched a couple of YouTube videos, so I'll be fine, right?

When it comes down to it, I just can't take any chances. The amount of work it's going to take to even get access again if it doesn't work is just too much for me to risk putting something in that's not 100%.

You can't really see in the photo, but it's not just a scratch - it's actually dented it inwards too.

I've messaged the seller, so I'm hoping they'll replace it refund enough for me to buy a replacement myself.

Which door catch did you get?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Just one off ebay. Its been in its box so long, rolling about behind the drivers seat i cant remember what make it is.
Got a 5 year guarantee with it. But the sellers can promise the world knowing they have to be smashed to bits to get em out!

Of course!

Tell you what, I'll do yours first, and then I'll do mine once I know what I'm doing.

Sound OK?

Sounds good. I’ll help. At least that way we will know what the **** to do with yours.....
