    I have the same issue, got the timing chain done on mine and you’re supposed to do the clutch at the same time but after 2 months of waiting for parts just had to do the chain and put the old clutch back in 😂 Hope it holds together till parts start getting easier to find. Pain in the rear, shambles on Vauxhall’s part

      everyone is having issues at the moment. in 2021 -2022 i waited 8 weeks for the chain on the insignia back then due to parts. 3 years later however, still problems with parts availability.

    You should have tried bleeding the clutch line first then seeing if a pin had come out... Williams Mobile Clutch (on youtube) does the job on your driveway. Questmead reconditions clutches.

      I wish I could have but ran out of time trying and couldn't find anywhere local to me to take it too. The cars was sadly undrivable if it was still drivable I would have had it done or booked it in early knowing of a wait. But sadly it wasn't meant to be.

    The clutch pedal staying to the floor could be the clutch slave cylinder needs replacing not the clutch

    • @blurbosh
      @blurbosh  3 месяца назад +1

      Slave had burst could smell brake fluid making it highly likely for the clutch to be contaminated

      if i could have done it i would have done but scrap yards by me are getting few, and the ones i can get into dont have a 1.6 cdti with engines in them or with the right engine entirely. further more i cant do the job myself due to struggling with my sciatica issues of late :(

    A LUK clutch set including the clutch bearing is 280 Euro's in Germany. A cheaper brand 200. Why not let the garage order that in Germany, pay some import tax and then fix the car. I ordered a lot of parts in GB for the RR classic and the mini and no problems at all. And no warranty is just BS on the garage part.

    1:05 How can you have a back issue and be able to sit like that?
    I've had a PROPER back issue for the last 35 years and it is difficult to sit or lie down and nigh on impossible to get up again.

    • @blurbosh
      @blurbosh  3 месяца назад

      Sciatica nerve and dodgy disc from a few years ago might be your answer there and sitting like that isn't easy, I've been struggling since the beginning of this year as due to working with heavy white goods as my employment I lifted a washing machine awkwardly and hurt my back in the process knowing I've already got a weakness. But that's the nature of my job unfortunately.

      Unbelievable it is honestly. The insignia is now gone and have the new car which will appear in future videos. Gutted is an understatement. But needs must I rely heavily on a decent car to get around in at the moment. Bad timing for it to go but is always the way it goes with cars sadly. My local garage was saying it's not just Vauxhall affected at the moment. 😢
