I know you'll understand...

...had to pop over here as i knew you 'lot' would understand.

I bought my '53 plate, 1.8T touring in Feb '18, for the princely sum of £595.00, covered 6000 miles in the following 12 months, and other than a dodgy bulb seating (totally my fault) it flew through its MOT in December, albeit with an advisory for rusty brake discs.

So when the clutch decided to die on me last weekend (although it was always a tad iffy) I had some thinking to do, was this the end for the old girl?

She soldiered on and we managed just under 800 miles, even without a clutch between Sat and Sun!

With that kind of loyalty, how could I not keep her, so yesterday I spent 82.5% of the purchase price on a new clutch and slave cylinder.

The pedal feel is totally different, but hopefully this clutch will last another 90,000.

Economically makes no sense, but its such a good car!
