Great, Cheers for that Neil
out of extra interest maybe, I know that mine had a new Nissan fitted clutch before I had it (mine is an 04).. maybe it is just release bearing, would be simple if so , but would be very very surprised if they didn't replace the bearing at the same time as the clutch... a classic false economy case!
mine has only done just over 30k .. have you had yours from new?.. maybe there has been a replacement in yours (don't know if this is significant in any way tho')
I don't have the gear lever vibration probs..
I was thinking of changing mine for an 06 plate (mainly to avoid the hyper-road-tax post march 06 )
I'd be really interested to hear how you get on ..... thinking about it if yours is a 56 it is still in warranty ..so the garage would be more inclined to want to do work on it than not .. more money for them if they do ..
but yeh, would really like to hear how you get on !
Cheers !
