Himanshu Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I had my Clutch replaced. I had to buy the parts as the garage could not be bothered to spend the many hours to search for the parts. I have an All White SE cab mk3. and low and behold it is not a 200mm clutch. it is a 220mm. So peeps beaware of this. If your gonna do this job, I strongly recommed getting the parts prior, like all gaskets and seals, and avoid Quinton and Hazell Clutchs. LUK is the way to go, or Valeo, Sachs. This became a huge job, Refurberd Steering Rack, New wheel bearings hubs, new track control arms, new track rod ends, new anti roll bar and stabaliser bushes, alignment. All in all Parts cost, £550. Sachs Clutch Borg and Beck arms, altough Borg and Beck do not make the parts, they just outsource work. Boooo! Labour ran into £850. Spent two weeks as parts had to be ordered from Germany. Beware what you buy of ebay half of the stuff had to be returned as items did not match description. Filled with Mobil SHC gear oil and Moly Slip great gear changes, no more crunch. Now off to trimmers for a new hood. at an eye watering £1000! Also looking for a bespoke exhaust system. Any one have experience.of good hood fitters and trimmers?

Himanshu Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Do be aware that Borg and Beck who were OEM now just pack item to the highest bidder. Just try to source a LUK clutch that is difficult. Ford simply just dont want to know, I dont know why they have a Heritage Center as they couldnt give a monkies about their customers.
