Hi fellas,
Another update - fresh gear box oil old stuff looked like a caramel/chocolate soup - probably good idea to do gearbox oil if it hasn't been changed as most aren't i am guessing.
Will get a clutch kit plus other bits to go with it to get it to tip top shape @depronman could you advise what i along with the kit to ensure everything is tip top? Then will need to find a garage to fit them for a full refurb of the clutch part of gearbox - gearbox itself seems totally fine and short drive i had (it is stuck in gear now) gearbox felt nice and smooth.
https://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/...fd87a169ad4428899db4210db2dd4a709d5535&000069 for DMF/Clutch - it seems to only have 1 bearing though - i assume i need other bits as well.
any idea how long a job it is not to get ripped off too bad? mind my bottom sound insulation is MIA so access is pretty easy?
At the moment i can change gear while engine is off but with engine on it is stuck and wont go in gear at all - with clutch all the way in if i try to push it in gear with engine running car actually wants to move forward (first/second/third etc.) so there is some engine engagement. Pumping clutch to make it better must've just been luck/coincidence previously as it does jack now.

Wondering how is Valeo from Euro car parts? https://www.eurocarparts.com/clutch-kit they have tranmech and Valeo. They've got good discounts currently so quite tempting - maybe there are some higher spec parts i could fit as would be nice to get car re-mapped at some point as well. brings clutch DMF (Valeo) kit and LUK release bearing (though kit seems to have the bearing) to 150£ only.
