Wow.
Well just to update, I ordered a new OEM clutch and flywheel (including bearings) form hardtopguy. Also some new roof striker plates and bits and bobs. About $1400 including shipping, so far so good. Add about

Well I have a buzzing clutch on occasion, I also feel the clutch is on the heavy side, and I am not sure if I get the occasional slip, and sometimes the car is notchy going into gear. I just had a nice letter off Grantham Honda telling me my warranty is about to expire and I can have a end of warranty check done for free. So, I phoned them and asked it this included checking the clutch she said yes, so I am going to take it down there next week and have it checked out would be a result if they offered to put in a new clutch and gearbox for sure!

3 hours in the S is always worth it.
Mine sounds like when as a wee lad we stuck playing cards on the strut holding the back of the bicycle wheel so that the cards would be stroked by the spokes for that "racey" sound. Sounded good then, so I am telling myself it is sounds good now too

very true, if the weather is fine it will be good, I will avoid the motorways and treat it as a day out - mine doesn't sound anything like as bad as yours though, in fact you can't hear it so much as feel it under your clutch foot.
