Thats how I got the Puma cheap, guy was told the engine was knacked, when in actual fact all the racket was coming from the bell housing :)

cheers Dave

Yep, that clutch looks well cream crackered.

Clutch plate in my XR4i was judderring so took it out and found about a 3rd of the friction material had parted company with the plate - been standing a while so maybe that caused it ?

Had one in my Mk2 Granada estate where the friction plate broke up and the springs fell out - still drove OK but made a hell of a racket !

Probably towing a large car trailer with a Jag on it the week before hadn't helped...

Mike, yeah know what you mean with the towing lol, I towed a 3 tonne digger 650 miles from Kent to NW Scotland when I first moved up here. My Landrover Discovery was never the same after that epic PMSL.

Since then it's had new pump, head and turbo, mind you it's running fine now ;)

5 Stud, I wasn't going to put any brakes back on it, they only slow you down :) :) :)

Seriously, I do know what I'm doing lol, its got a complete Cosworth Scorpio Rear End in it and it will be having a mixture of 4x4 Granada front end wiv 24V Scorp Brakes.

Considering the car only weighs 1000 kg it will stop on a tanner with them in ;)
