Clunked into 6th on the motorway, new it didn't feel right, took it easy onto the A49 then I started struggling getting it gear, came to a set of lights and I couldn't put it in gear - thought gearbox had gone but another noble driver pulled up (ian) and had a look, linkages still operating so its the clutch - looking on the brightside, my warrenty runs out 1st August so least its happened now and not then!

Sorry to hear about the clutch but definitely interested in understanding about the warranty if they cover the wearing/consumable parts such as the clutch - also what labour rates do they cover.
