Well my clutch biting point has now reached the top of the pedal after 85k from new so it needs a new one.

Unfortunately the cost of this is around £1K, I wouldn't have a problem with this normally but my girlfriend revealed she doesn't feel safe in the car. I suspect its because in comparison to the 156 I had before its very noisy, the seats dont hold you so she gets flung about on the corners, and its very cramped.

I suspect that this is the moment I take my £1K clutchmoney and use it as a deposit on something a bit more substantial and find some way of getting rid of the GTV. Frustratingly I had the belts done only a few months ago, but I won't get much for the car because cosmetically it needs a fair amount of attention.

If you want rid of the car then you may as well sell it before doing the clutch. But a clutch does not cost £1k, we do them for £550 inc VAT supplied & fitted. Perhaps this may affect your decision to keep the car.

Ive been told that the flywheel will need doing as well?

Can't say for certain til you've got it apart. We've got a used one in stock with only minor play, or you can pgrade to GTA clutch & flywheel for £700 inc VAT.

Don't forget you must Q2 it at the same time :lol:


I'm going to need a clutch soon-ish. What's the advantage of a GTA clutch & flywheel over standard???

If I'm wrong then forgive me but I think it's a single mass flywheel rather than dual, which weighs less and is more resilient to wear?

Lighter mass basically, so it spins up faster (allows the engine to increase in revs faster). Also cheaper than a replacement dual mass flywheel if your car needs one.
