[astratwinport]

the car hasnt done 6000 miles yet and when i press the clutch or take my foot off it theres a clicking noise, i dont know if its something to worry about or not?????

[wayne85]

take it back to em !!!!!!!!!!!!is it from under the bonnet or the pedal?

[astratwinport]

sounds like the pedal, its just the time and hassle of going to arnold clark

[wayne85]

nowt worry about imo itl prob be the spring on the pedal (im presuming yours still runs cable and not hydrodric clutch ) poke ya head down have a look whilst pushing it down with ya hand then you should be able see the prob i would of thought

[astratwinport]

i was thinking it was the spring, might give it a good bath in wd40

i think its a cable clutch, wheres pllusy when you need him lol

he's working, wont be home till after 5. Doubt he'll be able to tell you what it is without looking at it

[astratwinport]

i meant if its a cable clutch or not!

im 75% sure its a clicky spring

[Pllusy]

i think its a hydraulic clutch on the corsa but dont quote me on it as im not totally sure, either way there will still be a return spring on the pedal.

not sure about the corsa as i have never looked at the pedal box setup on them but usually there is a plastic grommet that sits in the body of the pedal then the spring sits into the grommet. all the grommet does is stop the noise made from metal to meatal contact. what i have seen happening commonly on other cars is the grommet pops out of the pedal because of the angle of the spring but the spring stays inside the hole in the pedal and thats what gives you the clicking noise.

recon it could be that but without loooking at it or hearing the noise i couldnt be totally sure.

should i book it in then mate?

[Pllusy]

if you take it into them it aint gonna cost you anythin as its under warranty, but as you say its just the pain in the ass of takin it into arnold sharks. wot one do you usually go to?

arnold clark is the vauxhall dealer dave he has scotland pretty much sewn up.

[OCDave]

[Pllusy]

up here he has 120 odd dealerships.

only manufacturers he doesnt have a franchise for is merc saab and chrysler. big big company up here, hense why i have stayed with them for so long. job security is a winner everytime for me.

[OCDave]

deffo mate i didnt relise the were that big

[Pllusy]

yeah mate he is huge up here, not so big in england tho.

[rhydgte]

Bloody hell, only 'vaguely' heard of the name and as Dave said - car supermarket..

[Pllusy]

http://www.arnoldclark.com/about/Company/index.html

check out that link. 140 branches nationwide.

the last time the figures were published a couple of years ago he was worth 80 million, and the company has got bigger since then. recon he could be over the 100 million mark easy now.

[OCDave]

by looks of things he will be taking over soon

[Pllusy]

in scotland he already has mate, cant move for him up here.

few folk i have worked with have got fed up with the company and moved to a different company only for arnold clark to buy them out and take over.

im just waiting for him to die/retire and for the company to go pear shaped then ill start up myself.

[astratwinport]

well thats it booked in for the 17th - im part of the recall for the corsa as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone

[OCDave]

is the recall for the posibility of fire ?

[astratwinport]

no its something to do with abs

[astratwinport]

woho the clutch was fixed, was explained as a loosened bolt, possibly that gromit you referred to alan, abs recall has been done as well

[Pllusy]

abs recall is to prevent the car from going on fire as dave said mate.

good you got the clutch sorted.

[OCDave]

glad its sorted mate :)
