Thanks guys. I'm also looking for cheap fixes and think that you are on the right lines that I still have clutch drag.

I spoke to a guy called Ian at the Runcord SD1 Centre (great bloke, knows a lot about SD1 & Rover engines in general) and he talked me through a number of options. With me thinking that it could be the gear selector at first Ian pointed out that as there was very little inside this, it is highly unlikely to be the problem. The gearboxes themselves are failry heavy duty are rarely go wrong, so this left one consideration that the clutch was still engaged when I'm trying to find gear. This must be the case as I can find the gears easily enough when the engine is off.

After speaking to Ian, and recalling what Dan 'we're all nuts' Mann had said about the pedal adjuster, it got me thinking. Dan said that his adjuster was set around half way. Mine is set more towards the top. I think (and hope) that by making the required adjustment, this will fix the problem. I'll try this tonight and let you know.

Thanks again,
Tony B
