just switched from scooby to pug 1.6 gti (see previous thread)

spent the afternoon fitting replacement speakers and a new head unit, after a few minor problems everything works great. thought i'd go out for a quick spin so got in the car pushed the clutch in (been stiff since i got it) and got a quiet thud and the clutch is in the depressed position. i can pull the clutch pedal out but it just goes back down. checked the cable at the other end but it seems okay:-

have i broke the clutch cable or (how do you check/change)
the clutch finally gone?

help.... what should i do?

Brun

Can you find the cable at the top of the peddle?

Probably broke the small plastic cable carrier on the end of the clutch pedal inside the car.

This happened to me on my 205 gti.

Have a look at the pedal under the dash and you should see the blighter

thanks everybody, fixed.

the small bolt thing at the gearbox had fell out when i was looking to see how to adjust the clutch

anybody know why it clunks from the front steering when i reverse and turn the steering wheel

all advice much appreciated

"Clunks from the steering when in reverse" - my memory is poor in this area but I do remember it was a common problem. It was either something to do with the brake calipers or anti roll bar links.
