try the Derv Doctor

think Steve_PD has just priced one up at £500 from them including a release bearing at approx £40

don't forget to change your flywheel and then you got fitting on top

i had no change from £950

I'd like a remap, but I can't justify spending that kind of money - JESUS!

if its any consolation i believe Steve has done approx 6K miles, maybe more since his 200bhp R-Tech remap and so far no signs of slippage........(apologies to Steve if i've now jinxed him!)

So after paying ALL that money, you stillcant guarantee the clutch not slipping!

My mate has had his 130 mapped for a while and the clutch seems to work fine.

mines on about 8.5k ish now, no slippage yet, but flywheel may be going  :undecided: got a slight vibration  :cry:
Get it remapped you wont look back!!!
you can get other upgraded clutchs but have read a few bad reports about them

Nick's gonna read this thread before much longer and slap me! I've been fannying about over a remap for ages but I'm worried to death I'll some how regret it, ie, clutch slip, premature wear on turbo, etc. I really couldn't afford a major repair / upgrade because of the remap. I ain't got the pennies :embarassed:

Come on people - reassure me!!! :laugh:

PS - the original clutch has done just 43k miles, but I'm worried that (being a turbo diesel) the remap will fry the clutch...
