about 6 weeks ago i picked up a mint Renault 19 16v chamade executive which is the 4 door saloon model. its running about 165bhp but my clutch has just died royally, the dilemma is:


Car cost £550 which is abargain
clutch cost is £513 as no one else will do it

is it worth it as i could just use the money and flog the car n get summit else.

oh bugger it

Timmy I'd like you to slowly fix me in a bed layered with rose petals, melt ice on my nipples and then call my Betty.
