    Fair comment about the RMS Gav, i look at it like that for many things but would be gutted having to do it again in 3 months time though. Having said that would be equally gutted having to do it again along with a new plate, after it got contaminated with the Texas Tea. Swings and roundabouts. If it isnt broken dont fix it is very commonly brought into play
    Tricky too when we talk about preventative maintenance funny old thing

    I was spewing cos it did the dump while I was on the A303 going to Dover to catch a ferry for France and the RAF Ski Champs.

    Had Debbie on board and everything, floored it off the roundabout by the Haynes Museum. Honest I nearly threw up. I nursed it all the way to Dover and called the RAC. They wanted me to have VW sort it in the morning, I said I couldn't wait and the got me a hire car for 2 weeks.

    Bonus you are thinking, no it was a Rover 214...... No CD player.

    The only tape we had was the one that came with the snow chains. It explained how to fit them, in FRENCH!

    The RAC paid a local garage to redo the clutch and RMS while we were away rather than tow it back to Cornwall. Now that was the Bonus bit

    Just back to flywheel machining, i have machined a few mk1 mk2 flywheels lightening them and it is posible but you need to machine the same amount off the mounting position for the pressure plate as off the face for the clutch disk to keep the correct pressure when assembled. This way keeps the faces concentric to each other for even pressure aswell.
