Swear i got cursed by the thread the other week, just been out for lunch and noticed my clutch slipping as i was overtaking people.

Warrenty has run out now i guess, so not sure whether to fix or scrap it

thats the thing, garage has been taken over by corrado, so not sure i what to do the escort.

don't mind paying out £150ish on it, but not over £200, i reckon the local place will charge more than that

Wouldn't have thought a clutch would be covered by a warrenty in the first place....

I paid £230 for a clutch, clutch fork & another bit on my Berlingo fitted, you must know a mate who could do it and get you the parts cheaper?
