Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

2010 Renault Megane dci - clutch won't engage

Paul Kiernan · 2023-11-20 13:24:35

This came on suddenly - clutch is permanently disengaged even before you press pedal and when you do press pedal down it stays down and has to be pulled up by hooking your toe under it! It's like the spring loading that keeps the clutch engaged is broken! Anyone got any idea what might be causing this and how much it might…

Surely if hydraulic, it would be permanently engaged as in car would drive regardless of what you did with the pedal as
