Replacing clutch cover
markyb - 11/4/10 at 03:03 PM

Got a new clutch cover (R1) a while back but am only getting round to changing it now. As it has been lying around the garage the inside of it has accumulated a bit of crud on the inside - I was wondering what I should use to clean this properly - Would acetone do the job ?

I always use meths but anything which does not leave a residue will be ok.

got the car out for the first time last week (just my luck to pass SVA just as winter sets in) - great feeling to drive her on the road at last !!!

The suspension seems a bit stiff so something for me to look at though other threads indicate I should drive it for a while first to let it settle

About 5,000 miles by August should get it to settle !
