Re: Clutch noise

That's what it was. I did some more research into it and found that the v8 in my stage 1 was originally from a car with an auto gearbox and these came with a steel spigot bush as there was no rotation between it and the torque converter. That's the 5th time the engine has been out of it this year. H...

Hello from Scotland

Hello everyone. I've finally got around to signing up here. My landy is a 1983 stage 1. I bought it back on February hoping it would be a quick project and on the road for the summer, but lack of time and many unseen problems here we are in November. But on the plus side it's ready for its MOT test ...
