Hi im just starting to use my 4200 manual now its gained its mot. The clutch is causing me concern. The issues are and I know it probably needs renewal and indeed it's in line to be done but I'm not gelling with or enjoying this car its really hard to drive for a couple of reasons. Firstly the clutch is really hard to pull away cleanly its either in or out if you slip it not much but just enough to pull away jerk-free it stinks of burning clutch and it's very heavy in operation. So my question is once its replaced will it improve or is this normal? If it is normal I think ill sell the car as I annoyingly have arthritis in my knees and its killing it its so heavy in operation. Ive seen in other threads that the clutch can be reconned in the uk and im being lazy asking on this post who does it so I can plan to get this and the torque tube redone at the same time. As it is the car is really hard to drive and I cannot believe it should be. The other issue is driving position if i sit comfortably with the pedals I can only just reach the gearlever and if I reach the lever my knees are up round the steering wheel im not a tall person im average height . does anyone else have these issues. It's very powerful sounds fantastic but if I can't enjoy it no point in keeping it . Also the radio does not work is there a company that repairs the radio? I also have running issues with erratic idle and vvc solenoid but im ok with sorting these one by one i am mostly concerned replacing the clutch will not fix the way it works. As an aside it does not slip no matter how hard you accelerate so its not worn out I wouldn't have said but of course, that does not mean it is not faulty .
