After reading Newterry's post about his Harmony clutch, I typed "Peugot Boxer Clutch" into ebay. (as you do)
The 4th and 6th items to be listed were both clutch pedals, the first @ £22.99 + £2 p+p the second one was £30.64 with "free" postage.

I've been carrying a spare pedal around with me for quite a while now as they are made of plastic and are notorious for breaking.

Mine cost £9 + VAT at the Pug dealers.

Used to run a fleet of Mercs back in the day..........Look at these plastic clutch pedals.....they won't last five minutes.....better keep a couple of spares in stock.

Last vehicle scrapped after 20 years operation (bus work)

Still had a couple of clutch pedals in stock!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone proved wrong! quick_run

I'm speaking from experience PB up! I've had one go on me (thought it was the cable at first)Then I found out it was a common problem so I bought two. When I asked the Pug storeman if they had any in stock, he replied that they always keep a good stock of them as they sell a lot. Whistle1

As an aside, I also found that a genuine (mines a Citroen) cable is easier to fit and a lot smoother in operation than a pattern (QH) one.
