After today I may no longer be Homo Cube
I'm now doubtful again, i'm having real trouble getting the car into gear at a standstill. i'm hoping i just need to adjust the clutch pedal. will let you know in a few hours
liam it might just need a gear oil change, easy job to do
or try putting it into 2nd then first, dont know about these gearboxes but on my focus the way its layed out its makes the gears select easier
So just me driving down from up north then tomorrow morning then?

Still feel pish but I'm coming along to infect you all with the lurgy!!!
Convoy at 7.30!?
I adjusted the push rod and it made a bit of a difference for awhile but its doing it again
Thats what i've been doing to get it into 1st, had to turn the engine off to get it into reverse
I don't have gearbox or clutch fluid, doubt i can buy any now so i'm wont be attending the show tomorrow. sorry folks
Halfords will be open till 8
shuts at 6pm on sat unless you know one that is open till 8pm?
I was thinking the problem myself was the clutch line, The problem gets worse as that car gets warm. I was thinking that maybe the clutch line was swelling and wasn't opening the clutch fully. also i have a RPS Max street clutch so its quite heavy.
maybe a braided line would sort it?

no fluid loss, no puddles.
I maybe should have said on the phone today that I will have the kids with me tomorrow aswell, I will need to be away well before 6 TBH as I have to drop them off and meet someone at 8 which I can't be late.
