Thanks guys. I had already tried the 4/2 wdr suggestion. The other point to note is that the handbrake is not working. So, no power being transferred from engine to gearbox? The handbrake replies on the connection between the engine and the gearbox. I did a full clutch replacement 5 yrs ago but didn't do the thrust bearing. Had a nosey underneath this afternoon but nothing untoward. Also just did the diff oil seal two months ago. Changing the bearing is a ****ter of a job, got a local clutch specialist so I'll see what he reckons. Just into and this happens. I could have been worse if it happened out on the road somewhere. I'll keep u posted.
