Thanks all for the advice. The failure was not catastrophic, the engine ran until i turned it off on the hard shoulder of the M3. Shame the engine was professionally re-built only 13 months and 3000 miles ago!

The crank has just broken on our 1100. I did not know that the developing and intermittent vibration was serious until I had done ~15 miles at a relatively constant 60 mph. Any advice on what will require inspection/replacement, other than the obvious? Also, reading other threads,is a pulley damper ...

It was hard to give details as my daughter was driving when it failed! Propshaft is not turning when pushed, in or out of gear, so axle it is then. Thanks for the help.

I initially assumed that the clutch was the problem, and have taken the engine out, and put in a new clutch. The old pressure plate had lost a spring, and was very worn. Hence, I thought I had solved the problem. No such luck!

Our 1971 1100 is suddenly able to select all gears without the use of the clutch! The clutch is OK. Any ideas?
