Compensator Update!!! After quite a fiddle with inaccessible bellhousing bolts ( I didn't resort to drilling a hole through the footwell) I managed to extract the engine The next issue was impossibly stubborn compensator fixing bolts (8 of them). I needed to buy a quality (Gedore) Allen Key socket set and a heat gun to release the M8 bolts that are secured with Loctite 243  On pulling the compensator apart I was faced with two completely disintegrated rubber barrels and two completely intact. I was rather surprised just how small the rubber barrels are..... The car was running well at Prescott, but for how much longer, I don't know.... I also need to replace the clutch. Its done 9000 miles. The friction plate looks around half worn, but the pressure plate appears to have got rather hot...
