Gary set to work on my clutch saturday morring and helping out a little, we began. A coule of hrs in to it Internets turned up with a tool that helped us for fitting the plate. Also he helped out on a couple of bits. Cheers mate for your help.. Trev turned up and had a chat, then went and came back later in his other car. Then left again and was hoping to see the 350. But the speed of everything and how smooth the work went. We where done in just 6hrs. So I think I missed Trev's return as I got that PFD itch and had to drive. What a blast I love this car, its like new once again. So a really big SHOUT OUT to gary for all his hard work. Not only was he amazing for his work but the labour price was also amazing.

The stripping out was going well.

4hrs later the clutch was ready to come off. I was so luckywith everything, I had a fag paper from the rivit from devastation.

Then it was new one back on.

As I hate to big him up, :-) he is a great asset to the Esprit community which without his skills would rule a lot of us out of Esprit ownership due to costs outweighing the cars value, which got most of the cars into the trouble he has to sort out. Of course I only go round for the tea and in hope of seeing him get his fingers caught in the bell housing again.

thought that red stuff was hermatite i know its not the correct spelling!

I agree with Trevor without Sparky keeping our cars on the road, a many Esprit owners would be unable to keep their cars running

Sparky is my hero since he sorted out my clutch problems at the factory weekend. And yes he got a big hug but no kiss. I save that for my 'superhero' my lovely hubby who keeps my baby going.

That's favouritism, right there Sue, that is. You gotta share the love!
