Help James replace the clutch assembly and return to work
James drives for a living in Newcastle upon Tyne, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 5 weeks.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom1,717 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,400. Without the vehicle I earn nothing.
I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask.
I support my two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $95
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,050
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $255
Thank you so much.

Hope things get better soon, James. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Rockford this morning. Greetings from Rockford
Keep going. Hope you make a strong comeback. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Stockholm
Thinking of you and your family. Small businesses are the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne. Hope you're open again soon. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
take care. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Wishing you the best, James. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne.
This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Ikeja
