Thank you Ken. I will order a new clutch/bushes etc and then on the next rainy day (shouldn’t have to wait too long in the UK!!) I’ll see if I can remove the clutch and get to the bottom of the problem. I also changed the oil again today putting in SAE 40 in place of the 10w40 and i think it’s made ...
