    @400ixl the dealer I bought the car from was almost 2 hours drive away and the car could not be driven because I couldn’t change the gears. I decided to get it towed to my local Suzuki garage instead so I could retrieve it easily when it had been fixed. 
    Even more confused now then. You said the clutch was replaced in Sept 23 and you noticed the gear change was not smooth and waited until Feb 24 to get your local guy look at it when it was MOT'd. I assume what you then said about it being towed is about the original fault?

    My question was why wait 5 months for the fault you identified after the clutch replacement as that is the repair your complaint is about.

    Anyway, how did you get on, hopefully a positive outcome?
