Anyone want a reinforced clutch fork?

I know this is all the rage on the forums, but is it really worth it when this also happens. I'm not taking anything away from Les' work, just an observation that a local leading Land Rover

garage also subscribe to.

the good slipper pad. The other one had worn through and was in the bottom of the bellhousing and had been turfed. Total km was 220,000.

Everything else was toast when the fork punched through.

that'll be the FedEx side of it then Gromit :angry:

I had a phone call from them at about 10am asking how to get in touch with you

"look on the box"

"yes"

"see the phone number written on it in big black marker"

"yes"

"ring it?"

"oh.."

if it doesnt turn up by tomorrow we both better start shouting at them :)

I can't wait till they phone me.

I live 100m off a main road, the 4th entrance on the left.

I tell every courier this when they phone

I stand at the gate and attempt to wave at a <insert courier name> van whizzing past at about 60 on a small B road.

5 minutes later, I'll get a call from them.

"I'm at the shop"

"You've gone about a mile too far. Did you count the entrances from the main road?"

"erm, well no, I thought you were down by the shop."

"well, I'm 4 entrances from the main road, like I said"

5 minutes they'll pass a bit more slowly, going the other way.

I suppose i could flag them down, but it's much more fun to watch them go up to the main road, turn around and start counting like they were supposed to do in the first place. :P

not sure if its of interest and its totally off topic but kinda tenuously related I sent some biggish bits over to grommit using Parcel 2 Go prices arent to bad and they ship everywhere (and no Im nothing to do with them before the cries of "burn him" strike up :lol: )

They're also the shower that couldn't manage to arrange a collection from me last week (two failures to collect). It was booked for their guaranteed collection next day delivery service (with Citylink) - after the second failure I cancelled and asked for a refund and rebooked it with Parcelforce. Yesterday, a DHL man turned up to collect it for Parcels 2 Go, so I reckon they booked it on one of their slower services. It's with their refunds department, so hopefully I'll get my money back, but I still ended up messing Ali (Fingers McLean) around when I'd paid extra to make sure it got to him in time :angry:
