HalfPint Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 I don't know about the drive shaft issues. But My wife was driving our gal about 3 months ago out in the middle of nowhere in the dark in devon and no phone signal.and she heard a load bang and then nothing , you could have the car running and put it into any gear without using the clutch.Got it towed to garage and found out the next day that the clutch had just exploded clutch springs everywhere.I know you said you had a new clutch fitted already but it could be a faulty one sorry!

I was on the M23 doing about 70, restored the cruise control, bang, revs shot up into the red & no drive. Had to be towed and get a new left hand drive shaft! ED Quote
Rusty Nail Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Hi quint I would go with the drive shaft too. Have a search and see which posts fit your scenario best Good luck Quote
