Default no drive on st200....

As above. I went to shift my st200 that has been parked up for a while the brakes were tight but weren't seized. I got so far with It in reverse an I presume they stuck on. The back end of the car rose up. There's no feel with the hand brake. Now it feel's like there is no drive with the car. I presume the clutch has gone. How hard are they to replace?

Clutch is a pig to do, mainly due to access, it sounds like the handbrake has jammed on with the car rising up, try and knock the lever arm off with a hammer, the usual place they stick is the pivot shaft, don't go mad with the hammer.

Cheer's tab.. had a look tonight. The hand brake cable has snapped so hadn't even pulled on at the calliper. Clutch has deffo gone. The car can be started in gear an I can change gearwhen the car is running. I can get the car on a lift for doin the clutch. How hard are they to change?

It's not so much hard, just so much crap to come out the way, buy a haynes manual I say, or see about cost of clutch fitment from garages etc.
