DG, I was meaning more the A30 (not sure I know how large/tall a terracan is),  but you are right - there is more of me now than in yesteryear!

If you can't fit under the Terracan, you must be portly... 

. 

In fact there is a bit less of me down from 18 stone to 15
but I can't be arsed to mess around under cars anymore.😉

why is clutch replacement like on a Cavalier with an F16.5 Gearbox.

I picked up a NOS Clutch for £15, off the Electronic Man in a Pub that is the Bay of E, and paid someone £20 to fit it, because it's a 20 minute job. Apparently.

It's not really possible to do that on a RWD gearbox.
But it would make a lot more sense on current complex FWD installations

My mk2 Astra was probably the same design.

Take the nearside front wheel off and remove a plug in the gearbox end cover, Undo the clutch pressure plate bolts through an opening between the engine and gearbox. Pull the drive shaft out of the end of the gearbox and lift the clutch out.

Assembly is the reverse of disassembly......

It took me 20 minutes to get the car on axle stands and remove the front wheel but it might have been a 20 minute job with access to a car lift.

£1300 is more than I've ever paid for a car let alone putting a clutch in one

You don't want to be man handling a TerribleCan box on a drive, they are very big and very heavy and worse still with the transfer box still attached.
