Does anybody know why it wont go in gear with the clutch fully down,it refuses to go into any gear at all.
If so do you possibly know how to fix it?

Many Thanks

Either the clutch cable needs adjusting, assuming it's not snapped, or the clutch is worn if there's no adjustment left and it'll need another.

You'll find it goes into gear with the engine off.

dont think its snapped because it goes into gear every now and then.It does go into gear when the engine is off.

You dont happen to know where I can find diagrams and such like on the web do you??

try lifting the cluth as you try to put it in gear

Try pumping the clutch a couple of times and see if it goes in to gear?

Yeah tried this and it only works like 1 in every 25 times

Also forgot to mention when its in neutral there is a noise that sounds like a wheel/belt turning and grinding slightly(best description I can do sorry)

possibly the clutch release bearing on its way out.
