Would you believe ,I'm in Cinderford !

Okay my fault to a degree but after a few months Sat up I went to drive My MGf 1.8vvc with air con. And the clutch went down but is stuck now apart , so my question is how do I get this sorted , I have tried spraying wd 40 into the area but obviously it's not easy to get to it. So do I have any choi...

Cost me 48 quid but got it done within hour of calling them..

There is another in North London ,by Alexandra Palace but I didn't have time to go there ,they charge about 30 last time I asked

Yeah I see they are selling for about £30 quid on eBay Think I will make one myself Well I finally managed to find the time to make a splash guard and I have to say what a great job I did, It only took me about an hour all in and no money at all ! Used an old lid from a recycling box ,perfect as ma...

What a difference !

Thanks that's useful, I wouldn't probably do 5000 a year anyway ,so that would be great I like the cash back deal when I trash the motor too,HaHa

I have had a trade policy for over ten years which I have comprehensive cover protected
And full ncd
But I was thinking of just going back to normal policy,
But it seems my ncd isn't transferable to a normal policy

Has anyone had this problem ?

Did you find a way round it ?

Nice, this would of helped me if I had seen it before attempting the job. I also feel better reading the other comments on how hard it is to do, I don't feel such an idiot now I will say ,that I approached the lower bolt by way of coming in from the fan with a long extension and a flexible socket wh...

My removable panel must of been removed and not put back cos not there

Job done ,wasn't so bad once I had the right tools
Not sure if it being an aircon car made it trickier
Glad that's done ,I even gave it a nice polish as I was so pleased

What's the problem ?

Update on issues, Today I thought I would beat this thing but it all went Pete tonge ! I have access from the top no probs, took out top bolt, left in for now, but I don't seem to have this removable panel that is talked of, I can barely touch the lower bolt and I cannot even see the thing through t...

Thanks Gary,
Yeah it is.
I will get over ,was meaning to do some of that club stuff when I originally got the car but never got round to it.
Cheers Nic

But not on an MG it seems, The alternator has seized and the fan belt snapped, but I cannot see how to remove the alternator and I cannot jus...
