A few people have asked about the clutch cover upgrade
The standard cover has no central bush and the aluminium bore wears , eventually causing the clutch disengagement to be "sticky" or even lock up
The clutch cover from a later model XCountry has a steel bush fitted and so does not suffer from this
Here are some pictures of the worn bore in an old cover :
and some pictures of the later type cover with the steel insert bush :
What mileage was that at John...
