Key for me is what members who might know the car think. From reading previous posts from Hypnotic, who I think owned the car from 2008-2013'ish, he had clutch, flywheel and ECU replaced under warranty in 2008 when it had done around 22k miles....

Is that a common problem, or an indication that its been mistreated? The fact that they were changed under warranty less than 10k miles ago possibly a good thing however...

Any and all thoughts on the history of this car would be VERY welcomed ! I think Hypnotic was a chap called Gary, car would have had around 3 owners before him, stock number plate is SB04 RKE

cheers guys
While I don't personally know that particular car it does sound a bit too early for a clutch replacement and points at a hard early life. While clutch / flywheel are a common issue they usually last a lot longer than 22K. Mine was changed @ 58K miles at the end of 2007. The ECU is not a common problem so it's a bit unusual to have been changes at all.
I doubt whoever bought it will be overly concern with it as all they'll probably see is a low mileage CSL investment potential.
Best of luck to the new owner
