1) My clutch creaks like crazy when I depress/release the pedal and you can feel a slight vibration through the gear lever. Clutch works absolutely fine when driving.

2) What diameter should I expect my plenum inlet to be on the 450se? I measure 80mm outside diameter/75mm inside diameter.

3) How much coolant should be showing in the expansion tank when cold? I cannot see a min/max marking on the container.

just a few posers for you guys.......

Cheers in advance.

Hi Mate..I think i can only help with question No3..If your header/expansion tank is the same as the one used on mine and the 350s..(Ford)..then it should have a level indicator just under the cap inside..The tip should be showing..Its roughly 3/4 full, Hope this helps..Ziga

Sounds just the the release bearing, should not be a problems as long as you can handle the noise. if not your going to have to drop the box to change it.
