Clutch cable snapped.
Same happened to me at that SOL food festival the first time it was on. Probably less than £100 fitted tbh
(If anyone was at the food festival, and saw an RX8 parked up next to the audi dealers, that was the one!)
sounds like the concentric slave cylinder has gone , if it is inside the gearbox which a lot are its a big job. you might aswell replace the clutch whilst the gearbox is out.Cheers for the replies folks, I bloody hope it’s not expensive, but as I was telling somebody the other day, it has never had a major fault and owes me nothing, I suspect it’s major! It’s got 108k on it so I can’t grumble.

is there any fluid on the ground and has your brake fluid dropped? that is usualy the sign it is that.
Any hot starting issues? I had one when they were new and it was great, a 231. Loved the drive of it but horrendous on petrol.Clutch cable snapped.

Nope. 231 too, it was lovely. Clutch was heavy a fuck though, had to buy "driving shoes" cos I got a bruised footAny hot starting issues? I had one when they were new and it was great, a 231. Loved the drive of it but horrendous on petrol.
Just read the squeal bit ,sounds like thrust bearing has collapsedHaven’t seen any fluid, and no lights on dash about brakes etc, but haven’t been under the car!
At 108k I would prob get the clutch done as well, it’s had a bit a squeak / squeal for a while when you pull away. I did mention it to the garage but they didn’t seem concerned.
Pretty sure it's an external slave cylinder but away from desk
Bust clutch master is my guess

Not good
Is it Dual Mass? If so you’ll be looking at a grand.Whilst we're on the subject of shit cars (nee offence) anyone know how much for Scenic 08 flywheel replacement (scrapyard, refurb, or new) incl labour to fit
