Or maybe its because MK2's are held together with a mixture of plasticine and wood glue.. :evil:

And when they moved onto the mk3 they decided a fully welded hull, like the liberty bells, was the way forwards :tongue: :wink:

The barnacles also hold the bow together quite nicely on my mk3 :grin:

Shiver me timbers! They are held together with caulking on large barges like the Mk 3! :grin:

Was something about clutches i read a while back, was something about auto adjusters jamming up and the way to sort it - but cant remember where or how long ago it was!

Sorry! :sad:

You will need to get someone to check as cables varied across the board for the 1.6-1.8 engines.

There should be a cable leading down to the right side (as you look at it) attatched to a bracket then a little cable coming past it into a white plastic adjustable part. (that is the adjuster)

If it isn't there then it is a auto adjust, simply remove the cable and then re-attatch it then pump the clutch pedal a few times.

If it is then you need a couple of spanners and a spare pair of feet. To play around with the adjuster on the cable.
