Hi,

I had a mechanic replace my clutch as it needed a replacement as it’s an old clutch. He fitted a new clutch and now the car can’t move due to the clutch being so full of oil that it doesn’t work according to a different mechanic.

I took the car back to the original mechanic and he is saying that the flywheel needs replacing now and that there was a hole in a seal before he replaced the clutch. He is refusing to make my car road worthy again due to being unable to get a new flywheel.

Surely he should have told me this before fitting a new clutch? He said my old clutch was full of oil so he obviously knew what he was doing.

Is there anything I can do? Surely it can’t be legal for him to fit my clutch and essentially make my car unusable?

I have a Aygo hatchback
