    Car Wash

    Yer, good point about the airel, went through a car was in my 5 door, forgot the airel and snapped it off. :doh: . I always go to the hand car washs now, they do a better job without destroying your car. and most of em are about £4 or 5 the same as automatic ones.

    TD4 Clutch doesn't return?

    ermmmm, engaged. but not properly, its like the bite point moves down just below the bottom of where the clutch peddle can move to when fully pressed. does that make any sense? As soon as you pull it up with your toe and press it again it returns to normal until next time.
