hi all -
quick update -
new cable.... fail -
quite annoying really cos we checked it as we'd connected it up and it worked...
then put everything back together and got in the car to get home - buggered, really weird!
so on the advice above we checked the to bearing and the finger which seemed fine!
so then gave up and accepted that the clutch is chuffed so we are now pulling things off to get at it!
will update tomoz when we have hopefully sorted it :)

hi all -
as promised - an update -
we had the box off and got to the clutch - found a nice hole through the pressure plate!
so that was that - new plate as the part was left over from my mates new kit that he only took the clutch from and back together!
however, when i started it makes this awful squeeking scraping noise :(
so we think that we have knocked the tin plate when refitting and its clipping the flywheel.
but we aint taking the box back off again so its can rattle till it disintergrates, lol
either that or the starter as we have to move the car out on the starter to get at it to tow!

so if anyone is reading this if theirs has broken - i would suggest that you check the links out as they were brill then bite the bullet and take the box off!

so - cable, then actuation finger/throw out bearing, then clutch!!

hope that helps anyone!!
