Re: What Clutch Size

That's what I can't get my head around... one place says it's 220mm and another says its 115/116mm

Try Screwfix or B&Q... not cheap stuff sadly :(

I'm after 50 metres of 10mm 3 core. With free/cheap delivery or in the North West. Currently I'm searching the net for it.

Re: Engine Management light on when Ignition is off

Ooh I did that today trying to find a fault... but accidentally crossed some wires and it chewed up the PCB. Hence why all the blue wires trying to bring it back from the dead..
