So! Swapped the release bearing for another from another box and put it all back together. Clutch pedal feels much better now. Going to finish putting it back together later.

I think you spent too long in the USA and came back a bit stoopid.  :tongue:

Yo, its back on the road after much work and frustration. New subframe, new wishbones, new clutch, new cambelt, MOT!, and little bits here and there.

Been doing a few bits today:

Bolted up the second horn, which I was missing and had the horn working again :)



Sorted the exhaust out, was blowing bad lol.

before


after


Also, had to sort the aux belt out. I missed a washer on the bottom bolt of the tensioner, which meant it was rubbing against the cambelt cover. Fail. All good now though. I set the tracking straight too, drives nicer now, although I'm going to double check it tomorrow.

I need to replace the PAS hose soon though, its come apart a few times already. Such a fail.



Here's a few pics of it today:
