ganges Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Correct mate, i know its a long shot and alot to ask but like i said, cant blame a guy for trying. Ive read everyones replies and i cant thank them enough but im still as clueless as i was before lol Im more than willing to get hands nice and dirty and learn along the way. You may have been wise to ask straight out, you may have got a quicker response, but good luck with it anyway mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil-Serenade Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 If you could that would be brilliant. Someone on another forum said get the car to 40mph with high revs, push clutch pedal right down, same with accelorator and the revs will go higher and then take foot off clutch and if they go back to normal quick then there isn't a problem.

Neil-Serenade Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 I did send him a PM but have checked his account a few times and last time he was on here was 13th October. Dont suppose there is anyone else local to Bristol who could give me a hand? Cheers again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess your not using the car then? lol as your plate and fly wheel would be toast by now he he (and the car wouldn't move). I would gladly give you a hand mate if Bristol wasn't about 4 hours drive away! Good luck getting someone to put one in with you - the worst thing is getting to the clutch - the easy part is changing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-Serenade Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 I was told the clutch was starting to slip when i had a service done a while back but to this day i didnt feel a thing. The car drives and changes gears like it always has. Like i said i would attempt it myself but i haven't a clue what i would be doing so isn't worth the car being in bits. Appreciated the offer though. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stEVO-Cabby Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) Sounds to me then that the clutch isn't going? As soon as mine started to go i could feel it straight away as when in 4th and say pulling up a hill the rev's would increase like i was wheel spinning as i was losing traction and drive through the clutch plate. If it was slipping trust me you would know about it! Sounds to me like you have been dealt some duff info there mate - if it was a garage that did the service did they offer to change it for you for loads of dosh ??? Hence you wanting to do it yourself? Edited December 4, 2011 by stEVO-Cabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-Serenade Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 My thoughts exactley. It was at a Peugeot dealer where i had a service that they flagged it up. but like i said, i cant feel anything different. They didnt offer to do it at all, just said it was starting to slip. I did get a second opinion and they said the same and think they wanted around £250. If i can save money doing it myself or having assistance then i would. Incidently, the same garage mentioned the problem of a high clutch pedal on my grandads car but when he took it to the dealer where he purchased it from, they said it was supposed to be like that.

Neil-Serenade Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Evening mate thanks for your reply. No, i really appreciate the offer, nice to know there are people out there who are willing to help but as usual everyone is miles away. Cheers again though.

Neil-Serenade Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 Obviously what with the weather not being ideal, this would have to be done when it gets a bit warmer unless anyone had got a nice heated garage? Though was was another shout anyways. Cheers again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersport Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 easiest way to check if it's slipping is start the car and then stick it in 5th then lift the pedal with the engine running. if the engine stalls then it's fine.make sure the hand brake is on.
