the annoying thing is my clutch has started making a whirring/grinding noise now on start up/when cold. Bastard car knows when I have money I swear...

Its not slipping or anything yet so I'm not too worried. Dad reckons it could be the throwout? bearing. I don't know enough about clutches to comment. It makes the noise when the clutch is in so I'm assuming its not disengaging properly. The noise can be heard faintly in neutral when the clutch is out but normally goes away when the clutch is in. Now on start up the noise just gets louder.

Any ideas?

haha excuse thats a good one. Clutch will stay in the car until it absolutely, positively needs to be changed. Unless its free reving in 1st gear then its good enough lol.

@Colin: sounds like throwout bearing to me.

Wheres my invite bitch :)

Cool. Just trying to find out what it does.

oh and yeah wheres my invite John?

Google the Master of All Mortal Knowledge has provided a sufficient description of what a throwout bearing does. Sounds like that's my problem.

^^^ haha nice one mike.

may aswell do ya clutch colin, if ur doing the bearing. i hear the only way of buying a throwout bearing is with a nice new 5puk :)

ps: lick my dragon :(

An excuse to change the clutch!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully that will stay at the bottom of my mod list although there's only suspension left.

fuel pump?

^^^ haha nice one mike.

ps: lick my dragon :D

haha your such a liar. You can get throwout bearings in twin and triple kits as well.

new bearing costs about 10 bux :P but its a box out job so yeah might as well do the clutch while ur at it

Fairly sure I could get a throwout bearing for it, I'll have to find out :D . As I said I really don't want to change the clutch, its holding fine now and I wont be looking at a power increase for awhile. So I don't see the point in spending money on it when I don't need to.

colin isnt man enough to handle a triple plate

oooooo zing!

Just live with it then Colin. She'll be right.

Wheres my invite bitch :happy:

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
