My clutch started slipping quite badly and it was down to a leaky slave. The brake fluid didn't go down, even after a few weeks of it.

Ade, this is the guy i was telling you about who managed to get it done under warranty. Might be worth sticking it out a bit longer if its not slipping all the time!

oh and rhys, no spiky maps allowed on my dyno :grin:

I always use the gears, never let the torque pull me low down as this will kill it.

I've tried and tried with the dealer and mentioned the slave cylinder but they have not heard of the problem. I think otherwise. It is playing up as if there is misting of fluid getting on the plate but its my word against there's, the only way to find out is to pull it apart myself.

I think I will upgrade the clutch and I want to keep the standard flywheel, but don't know what options I have with what's out there, only know of Sachs really. Any ideas?

I want to enjoy the map more as I love it, really smooth delivery.

From what I have read its Sachs or Helix as your options and both seem up to the job  :cool:

Been doing some research and seems the only option I have is the Sachs clutch. Helix don't do one yet for mine  :sad:

Start saving my pennies  :cool:

Oh, surely the clutch would be the same as my 2010 car which Helix cater for without issue, strange.
