Ha ha my car was indeed last owned by a woman! I know this because 1. it says so on the registration documents and 2. there are fag burns in the footwell. Thankfully the lingering smell of tobacco has dissipated, perhaps the clutch was the real legacy!

mine was fine when i bought it was on 94k but had been owned by a pharmasuticals comapny as a company car  :laugh: why they had a 1.8t is beyond me but after only 3 months on hard driving it started to slip and got worse and worse every day till it was virtually undrivable, ive gone for the clutch conversion now and hoping i wont have to do it again any time soon
