so had a mini scare yesterday. went to drive to work and couldnt select a gear to save my life so had to coast down the hill before i could select 1st and when pulling away from lights the clutch didnt feel right. instantly panicing and fearing the worst I began looking at replacement clutches.
Few peeps on the rs owners club forum gave me a few other things that could be causing the problem. Took the car down to the ford dealership for them to check and was told it was going to need a new clutch, the labour being around £390 if I were to supply the clutch. Nightmare as would probs mean having to cancel my trip to compete at the TKM festival in a fortnight.
Had a few minutes before my fitness training yesterday so thought i'd check the fluid resevoir (which the garage had said was fine), took the cap off, jiggled it round to see the level was ok and put it back on. Went to drive home after and it's absolutely fine and back to how it was words can't describe how happy I was but have to thank the nerds on rsoc
However it has meant that I'm going to get the clutch replaced as soon as I can with an uprated item that is more durable, cheaper than the ford oe part AND capable of handling more power
Hoping to get my snowfoam lance ordered next week and my friend's bought a da polisher so if we get some good weather this month should see a full detail and hopefully get the lil dent sorted
