Hello Pickle,

I've been getting my servicing done at:

Wildmans of Urchfont
The Garage
Urchfont
Devizes
Wiltshire SN10 4QH
01380 840276

They're just outside Devizes. They are a scooby specialist so no main dealer prices, £18 an hour labour. The owners have scoobys too which i reckon is a good sign, and you always get a loan car.
Can i ask where you got your clutch from and how much please? Mine is on it's last legs and was going to try and source my own.

Cheers,
Roy.

Cheers Roy and hello again Yeah I know the Wildmans but not sure that they would be tooled up enough to do a clutch??
I have bought an AP Racing organic clutch kit which was around £400 but then you have to add the release bearing etc which is another £70 odd so all in it set me back just over £500 This was from BRDevelopments as they were the ones who Re-mapped my car for me. A standard replacement can be had for about £200 I think, but mine started to slip with the re-map. Too much power

Well done on that dyno session BTW, Elliot said you reckoned you were upto about 300 BHP and i guess you were right

Roy, yeah must admit to being pi$$ed off with having to replace the clutch after having the Re-map done but at least it proves that there was a definate increase in power Clutch is ok it's just the pressure plate is not man enough anymore for the power. Car made 306.5Bhp at Powerstation but Bob Rawle reckons that equates to around 330 as they're rollers are reckoned to be very conservative!
Cheers

Still after any suggestions for fitting,as nobody local wants to know!

Thanks, but would really like somewhere a bit closer to home.
I can't believe there isn't anyone closer to me willing to do this! Even tried E-mailing Norris Designs but still waiting for a reply.
