Ok the clutch exploded and made a fair mess of everything in its vicinity, there is no doubt that it was the clutch parts at fault.

What would you expect a fair minded and concerned manufacturer to do in this instance?

Very good question => Let's have an educated guess here......deny all responsibilty...... tell poor old Noel to go to buggery.....and....... don't bother to fit any antiburst covers on future clutches because your more interested in a profit margin than your customers legs(?).

Matouks 9 second record holding standard RB25 Five Speed gearboxed VL was fitted with a JIM BERRY "SINGLE PLATE" CLUTCH and as you can imagine pushes out massive ponies without a failure. When my twin plate goes a Jim Berry Single will be its replacement.

What happened to Noel's clutch is the worst I have heard and am thankful as im sure everyone else is that he still has his legs.

Bottom Line is up to Noels incident JIM BERRY has and is always highly regarded for his clutches and quality of build. Ive been on a number of forums and never heard a bad thing about him or his clutches.

Get over it you guys. If you want to use a clown car clutch thats your perogative. I had my final dealings with the man yesterday and surprise surprise he accepts no responsibility for what happenned and went in to a long winded explanation of why it failed.

Truth is, he may well be right but, If he used an antiburst cover the clutch may still have failed without taking out my block, gearbox etc. He then had the termacity to offer to build me another clutch. Twas all I could not to burst out laughing so I politely told him where to put that idea and left. End of story. Move on, I have.

Bit of logical incompatability between these statements....?? :spank:

Same spec clutch is in my car. Surprisingly light on the pedal for a monster clutch.

So what is an 'antiburst cover'? Pic would help.

Cant you retards read. Time to move on puppys.

Thanks for that, Noel. Yes I can read and as it happens, I read this part perfectly well;

I'm sure you didn't just let it go at that. How did he justify his position? It's a simple question. If you don't want to answer, please feel free to call me a retard once more.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
