The clutch was gone on mine also from December and  the DMF i never got it fixed until last week and drove away at it.

I never had any noise from my engine or any problem accelerating whilst my clutch and dmf was gone.

Only experienced the loss of power/whirring noise from engine when the Turbo was gone.  Ended up getting all fixed at the one time. Got second hand turbo for £150/190 i cant remember now.

The clutch was jammed and hanging by a thread also but alls fixed now thank god

Other than that the car was running lovely  ;)

Tell you what you do TG. Drive that car out to Dunmoyle forest. Throw a jar a petrol over the seats and lit it. Walk away.

Probably wouldn't matter the state of the car, she could be driving a brand new BMW 5 series and I still wouldn't want to be within a 30 mile radius if she was driving on the road.

Sounds like you need the decoding code for your radio.

Just on radios, does any one know where could get a amplifying unit for a radio been told that is why it is picking up any stations?

The code should be in the service book folder in the glove box. If not you will need to get it de-coded.  ;)

Got a new motor, quite a large saloon and hard to see where the bonnet and boot ends, so its hard to park.  Car has no parking sensors.  Has anyone tried any of these parking sensor kits you buy online?  Any good?

Any man or woman that relys on parking sensors to park a car should be banned from the road for life. End off

Sorry am clueless when come to these types of things, are these generic and will work across a range of models or do they have to be purchased with make and model in mind, which is the impression I was given at the time!
