right it wasnt the gearbox or the clutch after all like the mechanic who helped me out said, it was the nearside driveshaft,
its being replaced on monday so wont make it to the show
just hope it has only sheared off and not done any damage inside the box!
also what could be the problems to the petrol gauge not working??
cheers

im guessing its quite low too?
when ya hit a bump, it literally pulls the driveshaft out of the inner joint, and smashs it into bits
dont worry thou - ya will get changing 1 down to about 20 mins soon

its down 60mm, going up 20mm so will be 40mm lowered,
i hope it wont go too often? i take it that on more powerful corsas they often go?
