Hi Guys and a Happy New year to you all.
My Doblo 1.2 clutch has finally given up the ghost! The release bearing was always noisy but now it has broken up.
I am usually up to do most jobs on cars and have done loads of clutches over the years. I am older now though, have a heart condition, not so fit, out of work due to being redundant for six months so cannot afford garage prices. I have a clutch kit and a good selection of tools.
What's your thoughts on a DIY job with an assistant or should I save up and put it in a garage?
 
Hi.
Thanks for the encouragement, I will probably DIY unless I win the lottery (drat I forgot to put it on).
Looking at the manual it seems to be quite reasonable to do, although the starter looks fiddly!


Perhaps you could give me a hand. :D The snow must have thawed in Siberia by now!!

Due to the cold and damp, health, no sheltered place to work and the lack of an assistant, I broke the bank and got it done in Kilmarnock at a new garage run by a chap I knew years ago.
Total cost (including parts) £244.
Feels great and no more noise!
