Just a quick one before I get stitched up by a garage...
Been getting an occasional burning smell coming from somwhere and I've got a horrible feeling it could be the clutch as it only seems to happen when i'm revving it hard and letting the clutch out slowly - not that I do this all the time of course.
I once heard that if a car can pull away in 3rd gear then the clutch is on it's way out - fact or fiction? I tried it and it did pull away and there was a burning smell!
A previous owner had a new clutch fitted by JZ Mactech about 12k (4 years) ago and feels fine apart from a knocking noise when letting the clutch out when taking out of gear once stopped.
Any ideas before I extend my overdraft... a lot.
On another note, I made it up to the Bedford Autodrome as a spectator but was far too hung over to engage in any conversation and they wouldn't let me bring my car round to the pits. Looked really good though. Definatley up for that one sometime.
Migration info. Legacy thread was 14252
