used clutch wanted

[David G Rand]

I don't know how to operate this site well, but I'm hoping this message reaches someone somewhere - I just don't know where it'll appear on this site.
I'm based in Norfolk and am looking for somebody to supply and fit a secondhand clutch to my 1996 Maverick 2.7 diesel 7 seater.
I'm serious when I say I don't know how to navigate this site and as I can't guarantee that I'll be able to find any responses to this post, I'd prefer any member who can help to contact me by phone: 01692 581344 or email me
at, davidrand2016@hotmail.com.

Here's hoping.

Why would you want to fit a second hand clutch?

[panelbeater]

the hard work is striping and refitting so put a new one in a 3 piece kit

A second hand clutch is most likely to be worn out already.

There may be a small chance that a recent scrapper has had a recent clutch, so then the dismantling begins, more labour.

False economy.

I agree with the above, I've recently just swapped mine and I wouldn't want to do one again for a log time to come

When you see the aggravation of whats involved to do the swap you want it to go right first time and I certainly wouldn't trust a 2nd hand clutch, who knows how long it's got left before it fails.

As a lot of us have found, the clutches in these trucks seem to fail in strange ways, rather than the driveplate friction material wearing out, they seem to either sheer their rivets or the adhesive material fails and the material just falls off giving some drive

I agree with everyone else with perhaps the exception of the flywheel the disc & pressure plate have to be new.

I was wondering if I needed to replace mine when I did my 3 litre mod but the lip was almost non existent and mine is pulling like an Ox now

I do very few miles (cycle more miles per week than I cover in Mav) and am desperate to get cheapest job possible.
I've had an interesting response from one of the members (might have dealt with him in past but can't remember!) and am considering all suggestions.
I'm eighty years old, arthritic and receive Pension Credit, so cannot afford some of the astronomical labour costs charged by some garages. I do however, keep my word and any agreed price will be paid in cash and without quibble.

Cheapest may not be the most economic matey, I could give out again no sooner it's put in

If you were a bit closer, I would have offered my services

found this on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fits-Nissa...8AAOSwOVpXVSod
price of parts is rarely the problem its labour costs youve got to sort out!

That's a nugget of information that needs expanding upon !

I got arrested whilst working in Germany for Jaywalking at 3.00 am by crossing when a red pedestrian light was showing. All 3 of us who were the worse for Dunkel Bier were taken to the Police Station and when they realised we were Brits they kicked us out after checking our Residents & Work Permits and giving us a lift home!

A couple of weeks latter when drinking in our favourite bar Kellerklaus an off duty Poizei bought us a round of Snapps........and so it went on. He turned out to be a great guy !
