    Help.....Awful gear change and noisy clutch .

    I've had my clutch in for the last 3 years and it seems that the release bearing is wearing already. Gear selection is also getting worse and there is a wurring sound when depressing the pedal. When standing still in gear its trying to move especially if it's in second gear. Despite already...

    Main beam 'tale tale' light issues.

    The main beam light on the dashboard hasn't worked for years and now it comes into the mot. Ive fitted a new bulb and the only time it comes on is when the dipped beam is switched on!! The light doesn't change at all with the main beam activated. Any ideas?
