I've got the clutch for it I still need the fork input cover n poss slave cylinder with out the car I can't get to work to get money to fix it and it's been fur sale for ages and there's no way it will sell like this
#4: Re: Dead clutch scrap, brake, fix? Author: HDI90, Location: sunny stokePosted: Mon Dec 12, 2011 8:27 am ---- the input shaft is only £20 from main dealer, and the slave is about £70 from ECP. So is it worth scrapping for that

#14: Re: Dead clutch scrap, brake, fix? Author: panzer360gti, Location: UKPosted: Mon Dec 12, 2011 9:50 am ---- got any trains or buses?
Owning a car is the same as everything these days, you can either afford it or you cant, it sounds like you cant at the moment, so either get a better job, another job, or jack the car in.
The guys on here will no doubt point you in the right direction for fixing be it new parts or from a scrappers, but dumping your money worries on everybody wont help anybody.

very true! are there any decent scrapers i cant get in contact with?
#16: Re: Dead clutch scrap, brake, fix? Author: Big_Rich180, Posted: Mon Dec 12, 2011 10:02 am ---- Or maybe just put it off the road and use it when you can afford it again.
#17: Re: Dead clutch scrap, brake, fix? Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon Dec 12, 2011 10:07 am ---- I have a gearbox, clutch plate and clutch if you need one. GTi138 too.
#18: Re: Dead clutch scrap, brake, fix? Author: shadow, Location: gloucesterPosted: Mon Dec 12, 2011 10:22 am ---- just paid £375 for mine to be done 3 part clutch,new fork+rubber seals,drive shaft seals,gear box oil, total parts £175 + £200 labour @ 4 hours
#19: Re: Dead clutch scrap, brake, fix? Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Mon Dec 12, 2011 10:23 am ---- As above.
45miles, 90miles round trip? That must be one hell of a job you enjoy?
At best that is 2gallons a day? Here is some shocking maths for you:
Two gallons @ £1.30 per litre = £11.70 a day.
Say you drive to work 5times a week, that is £58.50 a week.
£234 every 4 weeks.
£3042 a year, just travelling to work. Add tax, insurance and the general wear and tear....
Train!?
Edit: That maths is for a car averaging 45mpg (which a HDi will just about do) so could be more expensive if a different car.

Trains ain't cheap either.. Gotta factor in bus costs too and from station. Public transport is s**t imo.

A year train pass won't cost 4k.
It's not about what is more comfortable/easier. Its about what he can afford.
