my mates old car feckin lethal was him that got the rocker cover painted tho his idea he got it dun years ago..

It needed redone. Might do again soon, coming off very slightly at the edges. Might change the design when I get the new one done, but I do rather like it. Its just a pity the airbrushing doesn't last long, but at least getting it redone every year or so keeps it looking its best.

Thanks very much guys Very Happy

Had a horrible day today, after a lot of work I got everything finished off only to find that the clutch doesn't work, I think it may still not be the correct one. The pedal feels good, but as soon as you try to put it in gear the wheels start turning before it even goes in properly. I think it might possibly be a hydo clutch.

Don't know what do to, but its obviously going to have to come out again, I never ever wanted to do a clutch change on this car again as it was horrible, never mind having to one straight away again. I feel like I want to jump off a very high cliff. Crying or Very sad

Man thats harsh, changing clutches is a right PITA. Where did you order/ get the clutch from you should definately make a complaint if tey sent the wrong clutch twice.

Hmm lookon bright side though you'll be a clutch changing master by the time you get it sorted Smile

Its not fair, I'll know tomorrow if the clutch is wrong as I'll phone them.

I got it from Tegiwa, I'd hope they didn't get it wrong twice, but it seems like they may have, I didn't speak to them the other day, It was Tahir did it for me as I wasn't at home, but I can't see him having made a mistake, he'd have told them it was for a Civic VT and it was a cable clutch I needed, they would also have been able to check my original order.

No way I'll be doing it on the groun again, I'll be going somewhere with a lift.

I'm going to stuggle without a car, I need it for my jobs, was only ok this week as I took this week off any work.

Only difference between cable and hydro box clutches is the splines on the clutch disc - hydro ones are larger IIRC so a Hydro disc on a cable box is loose and will fail.

I'd suspect a problem with the clutch arm/release bearing first.
