so clutch went last week and though ok just one of those things it was running 185bhp on a standard clutch so i got an ap paddle clutch of which a massive thank you to chris aka b16 cvh top bloke and the clutch is fantastic.

got it fitted saturday by a mate who also noticed a few problems along the way one being the turbo return pipe to the sump had torn away
so comre sunday i fixed this whilst also noticing the alternator belt had ate itself. so fixed that aswell on the way so went for a drive when i noticed that the engine was ticking and wouldnt boost so tried limping it slowly to my mates when it died.pulled over and the starter wouldnt turn even thos there was lots of power in the battery eventually the starter turned however the engine would not start 10 seconds later the breather and oil cap blew of with a hell ogf lot of white smoke coming out the oil cap hole
i love this car but i think this is the decider to be honest im guessing the exhaust valve has dropped and was hitting the piston hence the clicking
so now i have to strip the head even tho i only did the head gasket a month ago get the head redone and put it all back together in this weather think ive just had enough now ive spent so much on it and it has spent more time off road than on.
rant over
