Where to get clutch replaced? |
|
I'm travelling from, pretty much, the Isle of Skye to North Devon with a slipping clutch in 2 weeks time.
So...can anyone suggest a good place to get the clutch & flywheel done close to the:
A82
M74
M6
M5
A361
?
Thanks! Black 05 TDV6 HSE Auto

No, already fitted, and being "Beta tested"
It's not my ramp, and there is a car stuck on it, 6 feet in the air My D3 Build Thread
