Well faith in mechanics has been restored. I went to pick up the car and he just handed me the keys no questions asked, free of charge. Car runs beautifully now and the clutch is quite possibly the best I have ever felt (in my limited experience) in terms of grip, ease of use and smoothness.

I still suspect it was a dodgy previous flywheel machining as he clearly decided not to muck around this time and sent it of to Clutches Direct.

WIll be going back there and recommending his services, he confused me in the middle there but the fact he warranted his work and I now have an extremely well performing new clutch gives me faith in the work he does.

It has been a week now since I got it back and all is going well! ABout to finish the break in period so will give her a real whirl soon enough.
