Default Problem and question

Hi All,

Couple of issues.

When I put the clutch in sometimes I hear a loud click from the pedal and it wont go into gear, press the clutch again and its like something is clicking back into place and its fine, this is only occasionally - Sounds like its the pedal. Any ideas?

Also the fuel gauge is a bit mental when turning corners or heavy breaking it moves about.

That's the problems.

What oil should I put in the car its on 120k but has been rebuilt ect and is running a bigger turbo/fmic ect ect

10/50?
10/40?

Thanks lads

The plastic clutch quadrant attached to the pedal need replacing.
Fuel gauge sounds normal to me.

Oil recommendation in a thread at the top of the page mate.

Just spotted that thread for oil - Cheers.

For the clutch quadrant where will I get that and is it a big job?

Ford, ebay, motor factors.... not a big job but fiddly as fuck, drivers seat out and lay on your back with your head under the dash by the pedals, very cramped.

Back ache time, if your doing the clutch ratchet super glue the pedal bushes into the pedal, it will make it a bit easier.
