I changed the cable and it was awesome! The pedal is now so light I dare say it is as
light as a petrol engined Escort van! Super smooth gear change probably helped down to a full box of fresh gear oil too!

Happy days haha!!
cheers;

i actually had a look at it last week for him; the cable is fooked, there's a tapered rubber gromit on the cable to prevent the cable from being pulled through the clutch arm but this is missing.

as a temp bodge i've cut down a big nut and put a slot in it to stop it from happening.

i'll probably end up buying the van off him anyway cos he dont want much for it and it needs a few odds & sods doing to it
