Clutch was playing up on me earlier, intermittanly slipping, pedal goes quite far down before it does anything. Im gonna try and bleed the system first and have a look for leaks, failing that im going into changing the clutch and slave cylinder.

And secondly, although a daft question and highly likely to be thrown in the bin, what are the little sticky back black pads for in the box of mintex m1144 pads ive just bought for 7.5" discs?
( reading the box it says also "Warning: This material must not be used on public highways." Yeah right....)

Cheers lads :)
Off to minispares again tomorrow to get a clutch after some inspection. Trust the clutch to have played up on the way back from minispares, not on the way there :/

I also did mine in place. With fixed front and inner wings. Hardest thing I remember was the wok bolts!

You should be able to do it very quick with no inner wings. It don't take that long with it all in there. As has been said the hard bit in the back 2 wock bolts but shortening them a little once out stops it being a problem again
