Ok, I think that says it.
The clutch is stuck on my camper van, just as it was to go for it's yearly test. It hasn't been anywhere this year. Those that know me will know we haven't had a good year and weekend trips had to be put on hold. So besides the odd jig up and down the drive it hasn't moved since last winter.

So with the cars, when this happens we push it onto the road, shove it in gear and drive down the road and 'release'. The clutch springs free.
Can't really do that in the camper, it's too big and shoving it up and down the drive is about as much as No1 son and me are happy to do.

A friend says to jack up one wheel, jump in, put it in gear with a foot on the brake and drop it off the trolly jack. The jolt should free it.

Well?
