Something to do with hydraulic clutch cylinder. It makes a remote control car kinda sound while driving, gets stuck in gear, leaking gearbox oil.
Hopefully get enough from the car to get a new cheaper one, hopefully still a vaux

You will get vibration through your cluch
It would feel like when your wheel is not balanced
And you would get a clunk sound

Hoping to start gathering parts for the repair this weekend. Currently walking nearly 3 miles to and from work each day as I refuse to use public transport!

Yeah good service, get new diesel filters in because they cause bother to the diesel pump on them and it's a couple
grand to replace if you've got a coded pump
Clean out the intake and Egr and she should run like a new car again
