It helps mentally recharge mate trust me then you gradually start to look at it and think yeah I like this car im gonna sort it, I got mine and my jeep on the go right now and its hard going but I know when im done I will have two reliable cars, I have a soft spot for the Volvo too because its been so reliable but too thirsty as I said before. stop getting down mate get the accord out stack some money up and sort the VTI-S later . the clutch doesn't always slip just judders like ours are now had it before on my MC2 when I removed it the springs in the clutch plate were hanging mate, the release bearing squeaks normally or creaks when you release you foot off the pedal is that happening? it all comes as a kit anyway so regardless its worth swapping it.
