Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
Round here the Audi drivers seem to have stolen the crown from the BMW drivers when it comes to non functioning indicators
The four ring w-anchor brigade
It's the way they just stand there looking at you
Is there no one that can help with this?
………..
The 215 dia clutch is proving to be very difficult to find at a price that is (even) reasonable ………..
Autodoc list a Sachs Clutch Kit in 215 with 14 teeth, but whether it’s actually available I couldn’t say. Might be worth contacting them.It depends what sort of figure is considered reasonable I suppose.
I bought it yesterday along with a central slave cylinder and a timing belt and water pump kit .
Paid via PP and got a refund today for the clutch kit . They say that even though one shows as being in stock they have checked and there is none .
I sent them the VIN to see if they any others to suit and they came back with a 215mm plate and a selection of three pressure plates all of different manufacturer from the plate and no way of determining from the description if the PP dia was sized to suit the plate .
I don't want to have to mix and match .
I also contacted my local GM MD and they offered me three different clutch plates but no pressure plate was available .
The clutch plates were of different sizes but they could not tell me what was what .
I've found one in UK and am awaiting reply to see if they can confirm it is correct even though the description says so . The reason for this is that they do not take returns and that's a risk .
Buying from UK is a royal pia as the cost goes through the roof due to import taxes into Rep of Ireland .
Ho hum .... we'll get there .
Thanks for taking time to check for me .

Parcelforce have mildly pissed me off. Parcel 1 of 3 and 3 of 3 have been delivered but parcel 2 of 3 has gone to another depot.
Could be worse! Parcel 2 shown as “ delivered” in order to hit delivery targets! ………
It was actually the delivery driver that pointed it out to me. He checked the tracking number himself and said parcel 2 of 3 would follow on soon, so fair play to him.
When a Pinto cam belt broke what you did was dependent on the capacity:
2.0l - fit a new belt and drive away(I did one at the side of the road when the AA patrol lent me some tools)
……….
What are indicators?Spoken like a true BMW driver.
Of course, as it’s a Bank Holiday I won’t see the missing parcel until at least Tuesday. Hey ho, worse things happen in life. 
At long last, have a year's ticket on it.
It did strike me that it sounded very Chinese but the seller is apparently in Staffordshire ! Still I'll find out tomorrow (hopefully) when it's supposed to arrive.
A Chinese company that specialises in the logistics of overseas transportation of packages and then the final leg of the journey is taken over by Royal Mail or DHL. That’s probably why we’ve never heard of them. It’s the final part of the journey that should worry you, not the Yun Express part.
Points make prizes, Mr YZ.
And to add insult to injury, I paid the fine on a credit card, which for government fines, counts as a cash transaction which I never knew, and nor did the fickers say. So that adds another 5% plus daily interest.
If I bought a chainsaw Swmbo would chuck it straight in the bin.
Cant imagine why ?
Strange Woman.
In the past, almost every previous car that I’ve owned has been prone to the accelerator sticking to the carpet and taking me to maximum speed against my will. Coincidentally, it always happened on the same stretch of the A40 and the M40, and always backed off to a more sensible speed after these sections.But your cars now are reformed characters, aren't they?
Obviously, at this point, I'm just keeping my mouth shut. People in glass houses, and all that
