I just had all the described clutch issues over the last few days and was in the throes of seeing where I could buy a clutch locally for best price. £70 ish from Euro Car Parts .
But then it seemed to go completely this PM, just as I was heading for an appointment. But what's been puzzling me is that the clutch shows no sign of slipping, even when giving the 2.0 hdi full beans up th big hill before I get to work.
Now I've driven cars clutchless before and managed to get it home, with much cursing and swearing at the useless maroons on the road in front of me. Thankfully my battery seems to be in excellent condition and survived several stop/startinfirstgear malarkeys on the way, one was even uphill.
So I'm super glad to read this thread!!!!!!
It'll be daylight tomorrow, so I'm told. And with a bit less rain that at the moment! So hopefully, he said with wossnames crossed, I'll be able to find the spring assister, or whateverthehell it's called, and rip it out!!
