well...it's official...

I hate my Golf...useless piece of shiznit!!
f*cking clutch cable broke away from the Gearbox Arm...right on a f*cking junction in St Asaph!!

had to drive home in Abergele in the style of...put it in first, turn the key, kangaroo & change into second etc etc

hate it when that happens

you should keep the number in your phone of someone local to you who has stacks of VW parts in their shed.....

never actually happened to me, ever - was it stiff in operation

would help if i knew someone local with lots of parts in their shed though

stupid mk3!! ggrrrr

Hes hinting haha, Ant has loaddssss of parts

Know how you feel. I got everything refitted on the drivers side wheel on mine, boosted the battery and refilled the engine with clean oil, and she started so let her run to warm up... go for a coffee everything seems fine....then it just stops, Volt gauge is reading 0...

seems that the alternator isnt charging... apparently theres a fault that develops when your alternator/battery warning light stops working and mine stopped working months ago.

bad one mate, hope you get it sorted

i'm going to fix it then get rid of it, in need of a 5 door car for the new addition : )

Had that happen on my Golf Mk1 Cabrio.. I didn't know about the changing to 2nd gear thing.. so I drove to my mechanic friend guy (actually lived over the road from me) about.. erm.. 20km's.. in first.. rofl.. oh the amount of beeping I had off people.


But yeah.. not one of the most pleasant things to go.

LOL, mine's snapped twice, shiznit bag. But apparently, I'm led to believe that you can drive without a clutch? My mate showed me, but I can't do it for shiznit ...certain rev where you can push it to next gear, without any grinding etc.

Yep its easy when you get the hang of it - I had to do it all the way from Manchester airport in a 900cc Fiat Cinquecento once
