Hi my Marea went from having a good solid clutch to slipping badly in the blink of an eye.
I have googled around and someone mentioned it could be the hydrailic system at fault ratehr than the clutch itself.
Normally I'd just get the clutch done but this showed no signs at all of starting to slip and getting progressively worse, it just went bad all of a sudden.
It's slipping really bad, but is driveable on the flat lol but hasn't got any worse as I would expect.

I know I'm probably looking at a new clutch but here is to hoping....

p.s. if it is a clutch I'll need someone to supply and fit in prestatyn area if you guys know anyone reliable.Sick of arsehole garages taking my money for **** poor service, I'd rather put the money into a competant roadside mechanics pocket. I have large flat off road area to do the job on.

Many thanks for any help offered.

The clutch of my 130jtd went in a similar manner after a while off the road, only slipped at high torque transmission and turned out to be a broken diaphragm spring. Solution was a new clutch although i didn't replace the dual mass flywheel even at 98000 miles ---- seems OK, now at 103000.
