Re: The Astraslag TDW Slut Car Thread
I make a purposeful mental note of keeping my foot well away from the clutch. With a left side weakness I can be heavy on clutches at times but the Ignis and astra I've drilled it into my mind to keep foot away at all times except when needed.

It wasn't without it's issues and be a false economy to replace everything. The replacement is even more away from an ideal takeaway hack but it was cheapest thing with MOT available within 30 miles

Re: The Astraslag TDW Slut Car Thread
The grumble on the bottom end could well been the clutch but I'd still have the loss of compression on pot 4,tyres to replace and the rust under the plastic sill trims. Also mechanic going on holiday tomorrow and I'd lose too much money being off the road.
