A star in a reasonably priced car

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

A star in a reasonably priced car

Post by djc » Mon Feb 15, 2016 10:45 am

Very big thanks to Andy for coming all the way down to show me how to fit a new clutch into my SJ, and doing most of the work.
The 'reasonably priced car' is his '86 Carlton with about 35k miles on it... do NOT see many of those around :)
Turned out there was loads on the old clutch and a good adjustment would have sorted the late biting - but the bearing was graunchy anyway. Took us a while because I spent the day learning a lot about everything SJ from Andy-expert.

Star bloke, very many thanks... and keep an eye out for a spare set of 410 wheels ;)

Funniest time I had with andy was taking a vit engine out.... I got covered in coolant and he got covered in oil....
Then we craned an engine and vit gearbox into the back of my zook
