my clutch snapped t'other week.. i was driving into the college carpark, went round this corner.. dipped the cluth.. car carries on going forwards.. im like "shat!" not knowing whats going on so i knocked it into neutral and braked just as i heard this PING! type noise and my clutch pedal just vanished.. I had to sit there for 6 hours (after a 3 hour lesson) waiting for my dad to get back from a funeral.. luckily it was payday too :)

mine went bout a week ago too [}:)]

Im the one with the tat mobile...cheap and nasty is my first, middle and last name.

nobody has a cinqu clutch cable, all the suppliers have close.

ive tried every where, but the main dealers (they can go f**k off)

whos is the little red fiat?

Now you see why as soon as i get my new job, the Cinq is gonna be replaced by a shiny new car :)

I've finally had enough of poor build quality, rattles and squeeks and constantly paying out for new parts. Look out for a 'breaking red cinq sporting' post in the new year ;)

Another day...another problem...

mckrob: your poor cinq! will you sell me 2 centrecaps when you do? :p

Cinquecento Sporting,
and yes it is indeed Broom Yellow \o/

y does every1'a cable go? mines never gone yet(touch wood) in over a year and a half of owning the thing :I

ive just gone and done it, taken it to the main dealer.
£125 i really can't afford this car.

next months student loan will pay for the 72,000 mile service and a new clutch.
anything left over will be, 40mm springs or DTM zorst.

happy new year

whos is the little red fiat?

Excuse me for bring stupid, but,

When people have a clutch cable snap. why not drive home rather than wait for someone to come and collect you?

Just an obscure new year thought.

Cheers and a happy ne year

Clutchless gear changes not good for the gearbox ?

Another day...another problem...

yeah lets be honest the cinq gearbox isnt the smoothest with a clutch.it just depends what vroads your driving on,if its motorway etc then fine but if its busy traffic then its more sensible to call someone.thats why i always have breakdown cover for just these annoying thingsB)

I suppose living in the quieter reagions of the country means I don't think about traffic too much.

Oh lucky me

Dave, I managed to park it, drop the bairn off, start off in 1st and drive 3 miles home without a clutch when mine went. Some people have no sense of adventure!
