Thanks Gas Up,
I'm not South Lakes or West. Technically I'm just (a tiny fraction) outside the 'Lakes' in Eden (but to outsiders that doesnt mean a lot, so I tend to say 'Lakes'..). Obviously not wanting to mention the garage because that won't be on. However, if you can suggest a garage for the future I'd be pleased to take the tip.

A few folk outside the forum have mentioned clutch switches (broken or grimmed up). Is that not a likely cause in any one else's opinion? As I confess, I'm useless mechanically and tend to rely on professionals.

Cheers again,
