Talking IS the previous owner of Focus RS mk1 no 3339 reg ND03 YKS on here?

If so i am the proud owner now and have been busy doing bits and bobs, re furb wheels, splitter, new oxygen sesnor, bluefin etc..

But its coming up to 48k now and the clutch has allways made a strange like gripping sound when pulling away, have been advised that this may be if standard clutch fitted its wearing out, or if a 4 paddle is fitted would be a normal sound to expect. Before i go making any hasty decisions just wanted to see if previous owner before the dealer i bought it off was on here so i could ask them if it had a clutch fitted or not,


Thanks everyone,

Jason

P.s if anyone wants to share clutch advise please do so it would be appreciated.

forgot to mention, clutch does not slip at all at any rev range, so not sure if it needs replacing yet, also the pedal is quite high if this helps.

Thanks mate, that would explain a little, according to MOT`S its only done around 12k on this clutch, just must be the nature of the 6 paddle. Cheers for the info mate well appreciated.
