just had a ten day stay in cornwall.  great weather most of the time.  got a nice tan. no faults to report on the caravan or our new porch awning.  the site was fantastic as were the other campers. and the food and shop prices were good too...

BUT. on the way home this morning. just going up hill on the A38. thats when my blood ran cold and my hart doubled its pace.. just for a split second i could have sworn the clutch slipped. OH OOPS i said or words along them lines. so i put my foot down a bit more,,,,,and OH FECK there it was again the clutch was gone.

££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££ how much for a new clutch on a 55 plate moneo dtci 130 psi...  

oh by the way got home. i just took it easy. the cars fine when solo. so no rush

Hi Janus, ours is an 04 mondeo - I think it was the burning smell and the smoke coming from under the car which confirmed we were past the slipping stage  we'd never had a slip before that.

You aren't too far away from us so when/if yours does give up the ghost then I can recommend the clutch specialist we used in Westhoughton - actually it was £282 fitted (not £288 as above)
