    If the dealer is nice then I could ask them to use the SD2 to read code and at the same time ask o adjust the calibration a bit further couple of mm but then I suppose a danger of flywheel damage. In the meantime I can do more research into indie clutch change. I think a new clutch is around...

    Hi. Thanks for the input. I have a generic code reader which I will hook it up to and see if I can read any codes. Can I drive it albeit more gingerly than usual? She drove fine on the way back home last time.

    Personal plates.

    No andy but thanks for the compliment. If a personal plate brings a smile to the owner and to others on the road and if it is not rude or blatently illegal then its worth it. I do have a vantage but the old one from 1975 which needs to be recommisioned soon. I have a Aston Martin Vantage...
