Do wonder how it has got like this? Do you think this is the fault? I have got one on order.
Also Bloody topical having spent 2 hours polishing it

something in the bell housing....usually a spring out of the clutch centre plate!
 
Clutch has broken, bits of metal zooming round in bell housing will do that

I’d be ordering a new clutch kit with slave cylinder and whipping the gearbox off as whatever’s in there will just do the same again, plus clutch will slip as generally it’s the pressure plates springs that disintegrate and do that

Iv got some holiday in aug so will be doing clutch then. Any advice where to get clutch kit? And is the flywheel solid on there’s or is that something that should be replaced as well?

I think you’ll find you’ll be doing it before then as your clutch will be uneven pressure and the bits will destroy a second sensor once it come loose again

could be the heat shield on the starter motor live terminal causing this it's happened to a few of use after replacing the manifold you get the message steering unlocked on the info display when pushing the start button.

That’s a thought thanks I just had new manifold fitted thanks for letting me know I’ll get it looked at
