Cheers mike. There not to bad to do apart from when putting the box back on lining the release bearing up can be a right pain. Going to drive on for a bit though

[Frosty]

The noise seems to be getting better on pull a ways but it makes the noise now when I slow down and drop it in to 2nd gear

I reckon its done over 1000miles. I should of made a note of the mileage when I fitted it! Yeah defo I'm sure I will be over your way some time soon. You aint been in it yet have you?

[mikey b]

As I mentioned the clutch seems to be pretty stiff so I have got a cable on order with Peugeot but I think its the pressure plate causing my problem. Some of the guys at work said that they do cause the clutch to good stiff but I will fit the cable first to try that anyway. I think I will just give CG a call tomorrow though to see if its a known problem.

What do most people do with the paddle clutches? Do you ever go for the pressure plate from CG or just use a standard 1?

[Tom]

What do you mean stiff? Like the pedal is hard to push? Lubed the pedal? I thought it was a new decent make pressure plate, doubt that would cause problems. Has it had time to bed in?

Yeah the pedal has become harder to push. I haven't lubed the pedal but at the start it feels ok but the last 2 3rds are pretty stiff. When I had the old clutch on it was a pretty light pedal (for a 306)

It was a valeo pressure plate I used. Was brand new but I got it from eBay pretty cheap as I think it was old stock they were clearing out so wonder if that's got anything to do with it. I have driven over 1000 miles with the clutch but have only recently taken notice of it getting stiff

So what was the problem?
Thanks!
