your a scary man Alasdair :rofl2: my mk1 c5 has an smf in it a couple of years now and there is no excessive vibration and no difference in gear change as for electric but does the charge time not scare anyone and I can only assume that night driving will reduce the operational time and range.

Re electric trucks, couldn't an additional trailer just carrying batteries be useful. They could switch to the spares when the fixed batteries get low like the old Jaguar fuel tanks. :shock: [-X :-D

Also recommend changing the clutch release fork, clutch release folk ball joint and first motion shaft support tube and oil seal. As a preventative measure I have also replace both drive shaft oil seals, the offside drive shaft support bearing, checked both wheel bearings (replaced), checked both bottom steering swivles (replaced) and fitted new front disc's and pads. A friend have a single mass flywheel and clutch fitted to his 2005 1.6 hdi back in November 2016 I when for a drive in it and the vibration was atrosious last month whilst drive in the M1 the engine died he had the car recovered to his home and on stripping it down he found the crankshaft had snapped, bent 8 valves and holed 2 pistons expensive mistake fitting a single mass flywheel?

Can you confirm if the kit was Valeo Kit4P?
