New poster! (less than 10 posts)
I now remember why my car has been sitting for 4+ years (http://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthread.php?t=26650), the clutch cable had snapped! Tried to start it today and when I went to push the clutch there was nothing, and the bad memories came flooding back :(
Tried today to fit the one I bought way back then but having some problems. In the "Changing the clutch cable (http://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthread.php?t=4800)" guide it says to remove a "grommet" but I can't see any? Do you need to jack the car up to do this as I don't know how I would route the new cable back through or see where it comes through the bulkhead with only access from the top of the engine (see pic 7).
Any help would be much appreciated :)
