corbsy Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Hey guys, Recently I noticed that whilst I'm accelerating, the revs don't match the speed. Smelt a pretty strong burning smell and so I can only assume that the clutch is on its way out and would need to be replaced. I'm in the Hampshire area (Basingstoke) and I was wondering if anyone has any gold suggestions for a mechanic? Otherwise I'm going to have to go back home to go my usual guy! Cheers in advance!

Stutopia Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Excuse my geogrpahy if I'm wrong, but you've got Horsham Developments and Abbey Motorsport nearby, so you're spoilt for choice. I've not used either myself but from what appears on here, they're both extremely well regarded. Be rude not to do some mods and get a remap whilst your there Edited March 15, 2015 by SuperStu Quote
GMballistic Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Horsham Developments would be my recommendation as they're almost on your doorstep and their work is first class. Link: http://www.h-dev.co.uk/contact_us.php They have done most of the work on my Zed so happy to recommend them. Quote
corbsy Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 Ah perfect! Thanks for the recommendations! I shall give Horsham a ring tomorrow and sort something out! Much appreciated! Quote
corbsy Posted March 16, 2015 Author Posted March 16, 2015 Gave them a ring and it seems quite expensive. Granted that it is the clutch and flywheel. Wondering if anyone knew where to get the parts from myself? I have a friend who can do the job for £120 but I need to source the replacements! I've pmd zmanalex but if anyone else has any suggestions? Quote
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 We keep a full range of clutch parts in stock, Alex no longer deals with new parts. Quote
GMballistic Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Are you after a standard clutch or upgrade? Sticking with the standard DMF (dual mass flywheel) or going for SMF (single mass flywheel) or lightweight? Either way there are plenty of traders on here who can supply you a clutch like Clark Motorsport (as post above ).

corbsy Posted May 10, 2015 Author Posted May 10, 2015 Ended up sourcing the parts myself and took it to my mechanic in Swansea who did an EPIC job. Car is fighting fit and it's like driving a new car Quote
glrnet Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Wow, you must've got mates rates to make it worth while travelling from Hants to Swansea and back! Quote
newkid Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) I just got my luk flywheel from ewen at clarkmotorsport. Service from them everytime I use them is fantastic and prices are very good to Edited May 10, 2015 by newkid Quote
