So you have a symptom like a slipping clutch but as no smell and probably no oil making it slip it isnt a slipping clutch!
Hmmmmm!

Cant really be anything outboard of the clutch as that would make nasty noises!
Has to be power fluctuations really by a process of eliminations.

Well sorted the clutch last night, just slackened the clutch cable :D

Bad news now, I crashed. Yep, lorry pulled out on me and I clipped the back of it. I hit that f**king bar on the back, side-on. Its pretty bad, but could of been worse. I'm fine and the lorry driver is fine, so no worries, just a few parts needed :D

- Coilover
- Wishbone + bushes
- Drop links + bushes
- Hub? Ball joint? Maybe!
- Driveshaft
- Wing!!! (F**k)
- Rims :(

There is also a slight bit of damage to the bumper, filler has cracked a little and a couple small scuffs, but fine otherwise.

Worst part is the wheel is now in pieces! And the other side is pretty f**ked from where I hit the kerb trying to avoid the c**t. So; its get adaptors and tyres for the Merc rims or get another set of 4x100 wheels ASAP!

Other than that, no worries! Feels much quicker now I sorted the clutch and much more responsive and shifts nicer.

So expect update's soon :D

P.S. Pics are on Facebook ;)

sh!t man :(

It's a pain in the ass, and annoying after everything you've done to get it going, but at least noone was hurt and the car isn't completely knackered!

Hopefully you'll get it sorted pretty easily dude :smiley:
