I went for a long blat yesterday, beautiful day. drove from Penzance to Dartmoor, drove around the lanes for a few hours and drove home.
Really nice day, bit of a problem with the car though. I got what felt like MAJOR clutch judder, or possibly the prop broke a UJ, or the rear axle trying to escape. It made the car almost undriveable at low speeds.
After a thorough investigation, it turned out to be the heat in the engine bay had cooked the clutch cable - once everything cooled down, all was fine.
I have now rerouted the cable and it doesn't seem to have reoccured.
Moral of the story, keep your clutch cable well away from the exhaust manifold!:D
