Quick opinion please

Don't forget FC,
I luvs ya too.
Sorry Moonraker, you're out of your league on this one,

Moonraker makes a valid point. Your footwear can affect your clutch control. The clutch is the only one of the three pedals that only gives you feedback through the 'feel' of it (and even that is hardly noticeable on newer cars). I find I can't feel what's going on if I'm wearing my DM steelies, but I'm fine in trainers. If I wear my thin plimsole like shoes, I can feel everything through the pedals.

In this specific case though, I don't think FC's shoes are to blame.

 

That assumes that wearing a heel does not give you a "feel" of the clutch (a naive assumption, at best).

If you are used to wearing a "heel", then you would indeed notice the same "feedback" which differs from the norm. Just as you would if you had a tendancy to wear trainers most of the time.

 

I also have full class 1 HGV And ive a C.P.C. (do you know what that is?)

If you took my comment wrong then thats a shame, and with 20 years experience i would have thought you'd be the first to understand we're im coming from but also with all this experience i would have thought you'd know the legal side of transport and who to ask for "legal" advice as to getting this matter sorted out,

But as i say if you've taken my comments as me trying to upset you! then thats your idea "it was'nt ment that way",

As ive said ive been what is known as a petrol head for many years and i drive a car that cost a little bit more than your £13k infact three of my main servies cost that sort of price,

So what i asked you was to try and see if perhaps you'd got into a bad habbit ref driving skills, some clutch foot peddles come from the top of the underside of your foot area of the car and some come up through the cars floor, the ones that fall downwards from the upper area of the cars floor area are in many cases prone to clutch balance (ie they're a much shorter pull to engage the clutch into action hence if the clutch 'foot" sits on this peddle while waiting to engage gears you'll find your wearing on the clutch plates (ask any clutch centre what happens if you have your foot resting on the peddle while out of gear)

When wearing high heel boots or shoes men or women your not really aware that your pressing slightly down but enough to cause ware on the clutch,
this is why i asked you the question,

I couldnt give a rats arse what sex you are, i was just trying to help you (if this was the cause) to be able to understand it may be your own doing and should you find this tobe the case at least you'll know for next time;

How many times have any of the members on this forum at some time or other in their lives been presented with a problem and they've asked

"Why didnt someone ask or tell me about this?"

Thats all i was trying to point out, but dont worry i wont try again;

 

To avoid further detraction from FC's clutch woes, I thought we might all enjoy another thread I've just created for all non-FC's-clutch related stuff

Ferrari?
Lamborghini?
Aston Martin?
Bentley?
Maserati?
Mclaren?
Porsche?


Dying to know!

 

I hope your pleasantly surprised FC and end up getting a bit of money back in your back pocket. Its probably too much to dare hope that you'll get a lot back, but maybe enough for a new pair of shoes or something.

 

Don't mention the word "shoes" again Clueless please,,,,
