clutch could be worn, gearbox could be on its way out.

try pumping the clutch pedal a few times next time.

Worn CV joint(s) or worn engine mount(s) or broken exhaust rubber.

thanks for the suggestions, i think it's likely the clutch or the gearbox both of which are going to be painful and if its either likely to mean we need to get a tow truck out to get it to the garage to fix it. !!!!!! :mad: :mad:

thanks premier, made me smile

Pssst

If you mean it isnt running at all and wont restart...how about snapped cambelt?


Yuo can check simply by slipping off the timing belt cover. If it isnt there than clutch oyur head in your hands and weep with dispair. It will be bad....very bad £££££
