Fortunately not.

Car was parked on drive, started up, selected gear, went to pull away.............thought the clutch had gone initially.

Many thanks Peter for your reply and for the link you enclose.

I dont do FB but might have to review that decision. Half shaft sheared off and broken in two places, according to the welding experts I have contacted it is not repairable

Looking for some help and assistance please.

1936 Austin 10. Would this have the same halfshaft as a 1936 Morris 10? I know a lot of the 1960s Austin Morris vehicles have inter changeable parts but I am struggling with the Austin 10.

Many thanks in anticipation for all offers of help and advice
