    After 16 years of trouble free driving he nightmare has happened. I just got the clutch warning light in my beloved Mondial t Valeo indicating a fault in the system. I hope it just needs a new clutch. If not and some of you are right I will go bankrupt trying to fix it. If your interested I'll keep you posted. Wish me luck.

    Shortly after this. I sent the car up to NJB Automotive. The Light indicated clutch wear, No big deal. The replacemet was same as a standard t. What was unusual, is that the SD-1 & original sofware is needed to properly test and reset the system. This seems to be one of the very few items not carried on in to the SD-2 or SD-3 Systems. The guys at NJB were great as usual. They did do a lot of reasearch (on thier own time) and sent me a ton of files I never knew existed. They really liked the system after driving and educating themselves, realizing and remarking that you can do "more with it" than the current F-1 that it evolved to. Bottom line. She runs great, and I have someone who knows the Valeo System and how to work on it.

    I was just at Ferrari of Houston chatting with the parts guy and he mentioned they'd just had a Mondi t in for clutche on a Valeo car. He said they have done a number of them. Sounds like they are running around and being used. That is great to hear yours is happily back on the road.
