looks like it's clutch time at 74000 miles, smelt and felt it slipping a bit going up the 4 lane yesterday, then coming back down out of Shaver ....thinking I might attempt the job myself ( I did my Toyota clutch a long long time ago was an easy job) don't feel like shelling out over a grand to have it done.

Well my employer now has all the shops on one server. They are using Sonic Wall and slowly eliminating all the social sites and forums. So no more checking in during the day.
