[divetheworld]

I'll be watching this too so looking forward to your opinion.
I like DA so when mine goes, they are on my list for a twin plate organic. Location is a bonus for me too.

total price was 2800+vat not including pick up.

Was that just for the clutch or the flywheel too ?

hahaha

Wasn't meant to be amusing but pleased to have made you chuckle

[x31james]

2800 + vat is for fly wheel + clutch + a bearing (that has something to do with clutch) without bearing it's 2500+vat as seen on their website

So in picture Twin plate organic clutch, custom lightweight flywheel, new clutch release bearing and custom release bearing spacer. which as mentioned above is the 2800+ vat gets you, so 2500+ vat for clutch and flywheel I've been told that its 300 + vat for 08 onward bearings and 275 + vat for before then... Hope this is helpful to those who are interested.

I like reading about other peoples experiences with DAE and others. The more i can read the more i can get an overall opinion no? Clearly people are enjoying reading about my experience with DAE judging by the responses of fellow PHers.

Glad you are all excited haha

I note yesterday it took you under 4 hours to come to your decision. Very thorough research I must say. Oh and I get my excitement from driving an Aston with the correct number of cylinders

40k miles still on the original, but avoid where ever possible reversing up slopes and don't do racing starts
