Trusted garage in Aberdeen?

I've never wore a clutch out myself either, but, as an example, I know that Citroen C1s are susceptible to clutch wear, and they had a change made on later models to counter this.

And as I say, the previous owner may have been a slipper, who knows. You certainly can't slag off the current driver without knowing the full facts.

There was always a huge travel on the clutch pedal before the “bite”
I’ve told her to expect this to be very different when it’s fixed

Some cars have a very different feel to the clutch as well. Some of the budget end cars are a lot more springy. Higher end cars tend to be smoother and more consistent through the pedal travel.

A lot of cars have dual mass flywheel/clutches now that is supposed to be more amiable and smother to handle the operation. Fine till they go wrong as they are more than twice the price to repair than the original conventional design.

Indeed. You can replace them with much cheaper solid ones, but not recommended due to the shock loading on the rest of the transmission.

Yes , they did not get off to a good start. (no pun intended). They had lots of expensive problems in the early days, I am a bit out of touch now as to their progression , but my car has a conversion and has been sound for around 20,000 miles ; up to now!

She’s got a Kia... which is made in S. Korea.... with the cheap radio I swapped into it, it only seems to play South Korean pop music.
Totally down to her strange music tastes that

My nephew is starting uni in Aberdeen in a few weeks time, so any good/bad points would be handy for me, just in case.

Hi. Did your nephew ever make it to uni?
