Took the clutch apart today, the plates are lovely and shiny and smell awful, like burnt old ladies purfume. Horrid.
As for the oil, well we had to drain it out and when we took the cover off, there were bits of grit and metal shards everywhere. The main components in the bottom end seem fine and the engine does run, but that clutch was totally Tea-potted and looked like it had been cooked in an oven for at least a week!
The repair bill is going up, New Clutch plates, throttle cable, engine oil, engine flush to get the grit and metal bits out and who knows what else. So far we are facing an absolutely staggering repair bill of about...
£40!
Oh well, with the new promotion and the over time I have been doing, I should just about be able to afford it once I get paid, shame I have spent all of my spare cash this month on useless things like Council Tax, Water Rates, Car tax, Cocaine Addiction, tarts off the street and cat food.
