Know but I'm quite enjoying it. Cos it's volksworld show loads of aircooleds are going past. Think I've snapped my clutch cable. All was fine and then a dong! And clutch pedal dissapeared lol. Traffic guys were right behind me though and were really helpful

i would like to know what the legalities are regarding the wombles...

end of the day it could be a simple fault you could rectify yourself.. instead of the possibility of paying to get towed off..

I have changed a wheel on the m25 in rush hr on a fri before now.. f**k it i think..

Today, my husband dropped me off at work. Ten minutes later I got a text saying "I just dropped the b*tch off I'll be there in a few baby, miss you". I asked him about it he said "I don't know what you're talking about Megan". My name isn't Megan. Not even close. FML

mine did this!! exactly the same

NEW CLUTCH for mine, it also took part of the gesrbox with it, the push rod is backward fit on the mk 3 and the bit it joins to in the gearbox was split when the clutch gave up, the part that broke is avaliable to buy so no biggie, its likle a little kidney shamped bit of metal with a cog hole in it
