   had my wheel alignment done, after the garage umed n arred about it being a big job cos they had to drop the air box n this that n the other to do it!!!
   but 2 days after my clutch has gone, not completely as i have a slight biteing point right at the end n i can get it in gear.....was just wondering if it is something the garage could of done when they were doing the slignment because they were acting very shifty when i picked the car up n no-one would serve me, they made the bloke that done it to serve me n i said to him....is there a problem with the car!!!
   
   your thoughts would be greatly appreciated

   First of all, find a new garage. Second, you may need a new clutch, or it might just need adjusting. Take it to a different mechanic, explain whats up with it and ask for an estimate

   cant see why they would remove the air box for wheel alignment.??
   Could be that they did something on the test drive?
   Might be worth going back to them and saying you got a problem( not saying wat) and ask what they actually did.
   see if they slip up and admit something.

   Your clutch has gone because its fucked and most garages remove the air box for tracking it gives them access to the inner rod ends.
