That is the tittle everyone else uses so thought I would jump on the band wagon. And while true that I have no drive, it is because my clutch has gone, I think I have torn the centre out of it. Went to pull away, sudden jolt, horrible whirring sound from the bell housing and no drive. Pedal feels strange and makes no difference and can put it into gear with the engine running.
I did notice a piece of clutch spring in the wading plug hole (too large to remove) when it was on the ramp for its MOT a couple of months go so knew it was only a matter of time.
My question is how long would you expect a clutch to last? I have a 200tdi, LT77, 1.2 transfer box, 265/75 AT tyres. I fit the valeo 130 clutch and cover (UQB000130G, URB100760G). This clutch has done about 50k miles with far more of them towing than I would usually do, but probably only 3-4k of towing miles. Is that about right or has it failed early?
