ok, what the hell could this be...

I was driving home from work on Friday afternoon and as I queued in traffic, I put my foot on the clutch as there was a snapping noise and the pedal hit the floor....noooooo! Well and truely marooned in Basingstoke in rush hour blocking the road!

Any idea whats wrong with it? Clutch cable maybe?

The cossie is at some pikey recovery yard as all the local garages would have been shut. I just want an idea of what is wrong before they try and rip me off repairing it!

 

I have a simalar problem and i found out it was my pedal box.
It has some how got bent and is catching on a bracket when i put me foot
on the clutch to change gear and it's snapping and getting stuck at the same time.

I thought it was my cable at first but after an hour of checking it ended up as my pedal box.

Worth a try mate

 

Might be that - although there was a snap the the pedal was all floppy as if not connected to anything.....

 

yup ,cables snapped buddy !!!

should only cost about Ł16-Ł20 tops for a cable !!

And only take ten mins to replace

 

yeah,defo sounds like cable

peace of piss to change,literally a 2 minute job

 

I bet the garage try and stitch me....

Tossers I'll call em now and lay down the law

Makes me laugh, the car was well and truly stuck in the middle of the road - everyone is beeping but nobody gets out to help push...makes me maaad!

 

yep clutch cable - Ł84.50 plus VAT for parts and fitting....could be worse I guess

 

how much

i paid Ł13 for mine, then took me and a mate about 10mins to fit it

would expect no more than Ł45 for a garage to supply and fit

 

seriously mate, get it out of there, it's so easy to do yourself!!!!!

 

fookin dick turpin car repairs matey

get a cable from a motorfactors and diy it !!!!

piece of piss to fit

 

yeah bit late now though.....fuckers. thats Ł102 to supply and fit a clutch cable!!!

Now i've told them to do it I don't think I can haggle....

 

Ł99.29 is Ł84.50 + vat...... not Ł102, so they are even making more there

 

damn the swines!
