Nanglebadger Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 tell me about it man.i've really been enjoying the daily blasts in and out of work in her too, pickin arguments with beemers etc etc, this was just a total kick in the balls.she'd been grumpy selecting gears for a few weeks, i thought it was just my work shoes obstructing the clutch pedal....obviously not.Jay has given me a list of points to check over, so i'll get crackin on that tonight if i can push her into the garage.Phil.
