hi guys had my 1.6 sport for about 6 months engine and drivetrain are standard,

about a month ago the car was hard to engage gears especially 1st,3rd and 4th

i adjusted the clutch cable and was fine for a week then it started again so i readjusted

was ok but is now doing the same in all gears, the car is on 89,000 miles and has never had a clutch could this be the problem?

Sounds like clutch might be on its way out.

Cover's knackered as it's not clearing.

about 90000 miles.... yeah, I'd say that.

I remember a Triumph 2.5Pi I once had, if it did 20000 miles on a clutch, you were doing really really well (if it did more, it was a automatic!!)

Yep, sounds about right. I recently done my corsa clutch due to the same reason.
