New owner with problem

[edhorne]

Hello chaps

Just bought a 1993 4.3 Chimaera with FTVRSH etc etc and very nice (and quick) it is too.

Just noticed yesterday that when I put my foot on the clutch, and with very little pressure, a whining, buzzing noise comes from the gearbox. The noise stops immediately when the clutch is released.

My previous experience suggests that this a worn clutch release bearing. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this, and whether it is a an expensive thing to fix (I expect it is!!).

MTIA and hope to see you all out on the open road.

Ed

PS Its a bit quicker than my S2.......

V8S was written off by the dealer's mechanic on the way back from its MOT on the day I was due to pick it up!!!!!!

Luckily I had only paid a deposit, which I got back.

Still, probably for the best 'cos I've got a Chimaera now....

Cheers
