I like that feeling when you get the engine running again. The clutches are easy to do once you've got the input shaft out. Keep us posted and try to get some photos up.

Don't worry about the colour. Brown is the new black.

Brilliant mate.

Nice easy fixes to get the car running again.

Do you think it will need much for the mot at all?

Is there any resistance at all when you press the clutch pedal?

I think you have no choice but to look further at the clutch itself :(
