Failed clutch
The clutch has failed on my daughter's 53 reg car, two months after the Peugeot dealership (who sold the car to her 15 months ago) carried out a service and MOT. Is it reasonable to expect them to have noticed the impending failure of the clutch? What recourse do I have?

No. This would not have been evident during the course of a service 2 months previously. It might not even have been evident during a service 1 week previously.

My gearstick is struggling to get into gear, particularly first and reverse. What would be the likely cause and remedy? How much is likely to cost to sort out?
