I paid £2k to an independant for a clutch replacement - it included a new spigot bearing and fitment of a Hill bearing that I supplied.
There's a lot made about clutches but I don't think it's something to worry about. It's not expensive really.
At what mileage did you get the clutch replaced?There's a lot made about clutches but I don't think it's something to worry about. It's not expensive really.
Hi mik194,
I just took delivery today!!!
If you read through this topic there's quite a lot of advice from some pretty clued up figures. The carbon fibre extras are apparently more desirable with some having cost a fair bit as options. I did indeed go for the car with the carbon race seats and carboceramic brakes. A lot of it boiled down to simply getting to showrooms a seeing/sitting in/driving the cars in the flesh. I really really liked the seats as a reasonably tall and broad shouldered and backed fellow the large carbon race seats meant I was much lower in the car and actually fitted into the seat rather than being squeezed out of it by the side bolsters. I also don't have to hunch to look out of the front uninsured.
Having just driven 2.5 hours of mainly motorway miles I'm really happy with my choice (apart from a niggly rattle in the driver's door and a slight squeak in the rear right suspension). I was amazed how quiet and comfortable it was as a motorway cruiser. The car has a few stone chips on the bodywork and screen but it's 8 years old and I won't be a devastated when I pick up the inevitable ones myself. I looked at a 14k mile car at Greypaul Birmingham with was in superb condition with a stunning full CF interior and upgrades aplenty but I just don't like the Daytonas as much as the race seats and it didn't have the brakes.
Ultimately it's down to what you like your cars for. The one I've ended up with just seemed to have that extra bit of character with its sparser interior and carbon seats. It's still got some good options and the aficionados seem to love the carbon rear insert so I'm happy with that
I hope this helps, but have a closer look through the thread for some more insights, and lively debate of course!
