New clutch assembly, slave cylinder and dual mass flywheel. The car only cost me £900 but is worth spending money on

That's a good price

I started mine, then it started spitting so on the grounds of health and safety I stopped.

I see. Well you're still not spending *too* much for what you're doing, especially if it's a brand new clutch.

What car is it mate? Mine is an old Fiat Bravo (Mk. I, 1997), but is really boss, despite it being Italian and small lol at least it's nippy and mileage around the "big city" here is fine like.

It's 54 plate Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.2 diesel. I've just been told it also needs a clutch master cylinder!

Nice car.

Was gonna say how did only one blow as they usually go together (most cases at least, I believe), but... Unlucky!

Hope it's up and running asap mate

Due to poor planning on my behalf, I have run out of cigarettes so will have to get up and go downstairs.

Decision yet to be made on returning to bed or staying up

Yup. Nothing pressing to do so why bother getting up.

They couldn't bleed the clutch and realised it needed a new master cylinder. At least I now have a complete new clutch, top to bottom. I knew I would need new front discs and pads soon so will have them replaced too. I have had five Cruisers in the last ten years, interspersed with various vans as I was also a self-employed courier. My first Cruiser was a new cabrio but later cars have been older, but, even though I know the usual things to look out for on them, I took a chance on this one as it had been used for towing. Unfortunately for me, whoever was doing the towing was a bit gung ho on the clutch and brakes!

But it has a fantastic engine and, after I have the lower suspension arms replaced when the MOT is due (July), I will have a car, fit for some serious blinging, that will probably outlast me!
