Lol. So this is your 'what you haven't done' today post. I was planning an ascent on the North face of Everest this morning but I've decided to wash the car instead.
What have you been doing today?

Finished wallpapering the utility room. Brushed and hosed down the patio. Went for a swim with my wife and granddaughter. Picked up a Chinese takeaway on the way home. After eating I assmbled my new dovetail jig but too knackered to try it out. That can wait till next weekend.
Went over to our sons for our Grandsons 3rd birthday. Those three years have flown by.
Washed the Golf with my pressure washer. Gave it a good snow-foaming first, blasted that off then used a soft brush to wash it with then another blast off. It's only the dog-mobile so I didn't bother leathering and waxing it, just a quick blast round the block to dry off the brakes - I'm not going to be using it for a few days and I didn't want the discs to rust!
Skiing in Courchevel. Abso knackered.
We're not jealous. Honest.
Early morning dog walk up to Costa in Upminster, then to the windmill and back. Indoors now, feed the dog, have some brekkie and then off to the fun factory for a couple of hours of .............fun, fun, fun!
Had a cup of tea and toast watching Mr Vine on C5.

It has happened a couple of times since. Each time we waited a few minutes and it was OK again, but it is a bit of a liability. So this morning we picked it up after having a new LUK clutch and DMF fitted.
£1223.30 with six hour's labour @£55/h.
Do the advisories sound earth-shatteringly expensive?
Could the oil leak just be a gasket? As long as the turbo doesn't need changing......
Guess the driveshaft needs swapping out?
I've never heard of front driveshafts vibrating on acceleration - did they vibrate on acceleration before the clutch was fitted?
Slight oil leaks could be nothing to worry about.
Labour doesn't seem too bad but nearly £700 for a clutch and DMF seems a bit toppy. I would expect a dual mass 'assembly' to include a clutch and even at £480 it's is not cheap. I bought a complete Sachs DMF kit for our diesel Golf (still to fit it yet!) for £250.

55 pounds an hour/labour - you must live up north or drive a very little, cheap car.
