Whom has a Rolls Royce?

Especially if his concentration is slipping

 

Perhaps but just think how it will fly after he's wheeled in all the issues!

 

I don't have an axle to grind, but that was a pathetic effort, guys. The clutch and throwout bearing are ready. I've ordered exhaust gaskets and transaxle oil change kit (basically two copper washers and an o-ring) from a USA supplier, and a pile of bolts, seals, and a spigot bearing from Eurospares. Got creamed on shipping, but still a lot cheaper than from the local dealer. Funnily enough, the engine oil change kit is cheaper from the dealer here, so I'm getting those bits from there. Gizzi's found a couple of O2 sensors for a fraction of the price of the OEM ones. I've also repaired the faulty indicator ($5,000 OEM). So I've got to go to Brissy to pick up the clutch, to Aston Martin for the oil change kit, and then wait for two parcels. Then I have to remember how to put Humpty back together again .
Overall, I should have the whole job done for about $10K less than the quote. How's that for low-balling?

 

Great job ,good to see Gabby gearjamming sometime soon.

 

10-4

 

Bloody Hell! How much was the quote?

Is this just to change a clutch?

 

And some people whinge about a 355 engine out

 

Can't remember exactly what I paid for the new clutch on the 355, but pretty sure it was less than 5k.

 

I did a new clutch when the pumpkin bearing seized, the bearing was $1000 (unique apparently ?) and the clutch/pressure plate circa $2500 from Superformance about 6-7 years ago

Only changed the clutch because I was pulling the back end apart, quite simple really

BTW I've been calling Marc for a few days with no reply , is he away ?

 

He's at Pat's place working on a clutch.

Apparently. [emoji16]

 

He just told me you are on ignore.

 

$8,000 for the clutch, $5,000 for a new front left indicator

 

I thought Fords were cheap to run

 

You've thrown down the Gauntlet. [emoji16]

 

I don't think he gives a flying Falcon

 

Check the price for a front left indicator for your VW.

 

Why? It wouldn’t develop a fault in the first place

 

I think the LED strips in the rear light clusters on the Conti's can fail - similar price

 

So far so good, anyway, I’m happy to overpay

 

and the switch gear/knobs goes sticky as well.

 

Are we talking about cars or spa night?

 

Sheesh!, for Bentley turbo R fans

Carl and I can only imagine the major issues it has having NOT been driven.

 

Some would think this was a photo of a T Series parked in Mayfair London!
