Took us 7/8 hours to do the Micra in our lockup, but we didnt have the proper tools frown. Car was only just off the ground (No ramps) and we had to use jacks to support the gearbox and manouvre it around.

Needless to say, Japanese cars dont go back as easily as they are taken apart laugh

The Clutch is OK But the duel mass has over 30mm of play terrible it should only have 15mm at the most ;(

All the new Volvos have those flywheels don't they? Nightmare, it took 2 hours to change my Astra's clutch, you extract the input shaft from the side and then the clutch comes out of a hatch underneath! smile

hi guys just got back from a diagnostics course at jim barrow motor factors

lol

you think cars are bad now with the management systems

Just wait to see whats in line for all cars after 2010

all cars will have to have Tyre pressure monitoring systems also all will have electronic handbrakes to this is all part of the new car laws coming into place on new cars

wooooowww

the world going to electronically MAD

good look for the future

ROBBO wink

1 more thing when you change a battery on a new car you will have to tell the E.C.U what battery it is and amps it is or the car will not start

NOTE what a pain in the ass

These dual mass flywheels also kill starter motors - its a very common problem on the new transits omg

Dual mass flywheel, good Idea - NOT!! Ill live with a bit of lumpyness rather than having to replace the starter all the time.. think
