Just thought it would be useful to update with the latest developments:

The breaks have now stopped sticking on (a problem which was cured by lifting the break pedal up with your foot as mentioned above)

The clutch judder has (fingers crossed) cured it's self. Just towed the caravan to Anglesey. All without any judder in first when setting off or driving in slow traffic. I can only put this down to the thrashing the clutch/flywheel got whilst reversing the caravan up the steep slope on our drive. The smell of burning clutch as I inched my way up and around a corner was worrying at the time but may have cured it.

I'm now back (for work) having abandoned wife and child in the middle of windswept but wonderful anglesey. Nice drive back (without carvan ). Donny to Anglesey with c.van and back in one day, 370 miles! Popped into to see Dai (thanks for the chat) regarding parts for the Mk1 project. Got back at 2.45 AM after also dropping off parts for paulvolvo in Manchester. Don't you just love the roads in the wee small hours (only problem was up again at 7.30 for work and a further 100+ miles in the truck )

Wonder what the record is for miles in one day in a 300?

My all time record is approx 650 miles (Ponteland, nr Newcastle to Avebury, Wiltshire and back) in 24 hours (and that was 4 of us in the 77 Mk1 vario in 1992) We went down from college for the midsummer solstice celebrations at the 3000 year old Silbury Hill (rave platform )

Sounds good but your clutch surface might just be smooth for a bit, once it roughs up again your judder may come back. My juddering turned out to be knackered splines on the drive shaft which eventually gave way.

I'd love to see some pics of your 300 towing a caravan I've recently discovered towbars as being fabulous things

Wonder what the record is for miles in one day in a 300?

We drove from Bosnia to Germany in one go in our 360 in 2002. Left Sarajevo at 7am, arrived in Bonn at midnight. I think it was 1500kms I guess that's around 950 miles. WIthout kids I reckon 1000kms a day are pretty do-able, but with children and the long breaks you do we've cut down on marathon stretches quite a bit

My record is just under 700miles in a 300 in a day.. Dammit, need to get out and compete with you now Tom
