So got a letter through the post with my v5c saying vehicle is no longer taxed and as a new keeper I need to tax it before I can drive it (which I was expecting), but when I went to tax it online as advised by the same documentation a message came up saying "due to new NI insurance legislation ...

How much do you think your average local garage would charge for replacement?

Din wrote:Nope, the input shaft seal in the gearbox was replaced and the rear main was ok iirc, it's just that crap clutch.

Fair enough, nothing to worry about then, just learn to get used to it I guess.

Dwighty

Yeah the clutch was juddering very badly... It was an luk one that went in. I strongly suggest putting a borg and beck in it, I have had no issues with this one in the zs. The box has steel caged diff bearings and steel caged input shaft bearings, so should be good for years to come, the diff beari...
