I will wait till it is really slipping, decide what to do to it then. €400 is a good price, £500 for a poxy Renault Clio seems expensive to me, last clutch I changed was in a Cavalier, it was a 20 minute job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front wheel drive will be a bit different, probably need to remove a drive shaft and possibly move one of the lower crossmembers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will definitely have to come out underneath, needs to be up on ramps, lift or have a pit, of which I have none, I can't even do a oil change on the damn thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother in law has the same, can't piss, or has to go several times per night, they have tested his PSA (high) and taken biopsies, he is on drugs, they test him quite regularly though, his doc says he is fine at the moment, they also do not want to operate because it could leave him incontinent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
