hi all, im haveing a couple of mad months on the 320. doing the inspection this month, replaceing the front suspension+bushes+top mounts+track control arms next month, then i think its time for a new cluch as shes biteing a little high(not slipping)
would i be better off getting a heavy duty cluch for her or just a standard one(money no issue) your thoughts would be appreciated.

From what i gather the 325 clutch is the same apart from a stronger pressure plate..... maby fit a 325 clutch kit from LUK or SACHS?


for my shame i was really really skint when the clutch went in my 320 and i fitted an EBC recon unit.... to be fair it dosent judder and has enough bite so not bad for £70


my top thing to watch is the starter bolts, had the box mount off when i was putting mine back and the engine shifted.... hand was trapped for a few mins till i managed to wriggle it back out then still had the bolts to do.....


If theres an easy way round this i would really like to hear it :mad:
