warrima Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Guys thought i would give you an update on my Ford Ranger. I took it to my local Somchai and told him to check the clutch system specifically the hydraulics. Returned the next day and he gleefully told me it needed a new clutch. I questioned if it was really the clutch plates and not the master or slave cylinders - He pointed to a 2005 ranger parked in the corner and said it just had the exact same issue and was fixed. So i agreed to a japanese made clutch priced at 6.5k and labour at 1.5k (he flushed the coolant and changed the oil too for this) Got it back 2 days later and thought id run it down to BangPu on Sunday. Went there fine but on the way home - bham - starts playing up again. Stuck on sukhumvit and woundnt change gear. Anyway after a few minutes idle and a restart i got it into 2nd and kept it there till home. Monday- Back to Somchai, he changed the Master and slave cylinders at No Charge. That was a few weeks ago and ive been to Kanchanaburi and Pattaya, so a couple of decent runs. Old girl is going well now. Maybe out of pocket a little more than i should be but hey i have a new clutch. I'll chalk that down as a win. Cheers guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
