406 looks ideal for a daily smoker, nice toys, awesome MPG and comfy with modern (enough) looks for joe public not to refer to it as a 'banger'. lol

What was the choice of clutch/flywheel in the end? Was the dual mass actually he problem in the end? Or was it the friction plate?

General Baxter
28-01-11, 11:08 PM
it was the duel mass, the spring had no spring left in them :)

db_1.2
28-01-11, 11:10 PM
Bloody nuisance. Still, must be there for a reason.

Did you replace with another dual mass, or opt for single in the end? I know you were thinking about it.

General Baxter
28-01-11, 11:12 PM
