Clutch is knackered
Been back and forwards to visit my sick mum in hospital. Thought there was a problem with my clutch over the last few weeks. Slipping like crazy on the way home today. New clutch ordered from Brickwerks and booking into the garage to get it fixed. The plus side is it didn't happen in the middle of our holiday in France.

Re: Clutch is knackered
I've been told you can change the clutch without taking the engine out!?

Of course...why would you take the engine out when removing the gearbox is so much easier.
Replace the spigot shaft bearing and starter oilite bush (petrol engines) whilst at it.
