But you have to think:
Why would an engine with that few miles need a new clutch?
£40 cash.
And I'll let you deliver it onto my drive and I'll do the hard work of lifting it up to the workshop.

You won't get a better offer, and tbh I don't really need it; I'm just doing you a favour.

Let me know when you want to drop it off.

The longest wheelbarrow push was one of some 14,500 km (9,000 miles), from 24 April 1975 to 6 May 1978 by Bob Hanley (Australia), starting and finishing at Sydney and pushing through Townsville, Mt Isa, Tennant Creek, Alice Springs, the Nullarbor Plain, Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne.

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

it didn't need a new clutch, the one that was in it was very good, so I put it in my other storm, then I managed to acquire a brand new ebc clutch for peanuts, so in it went.... :thumbup:
an incredibly kind offer tony, but I think i'll pass on that one........ :wink:

That's why I only put front in the post ,
The rear is no good for the storm but could be sold on to get some cash back . And at that price the front is worth a gamble

Spoken with the owner and he says there straight. Can only hope. Now to see if I can find a rear, second thought I think I know where one might be :think:
