££££Expensive afternoon...?????

Oh dear! I think your title could be quite prophetic!

It sounds like the chain could have heavily whiplashed the engine cases round the clutch pushrod area? Preventing the pushrod from moving.
If so this will not be a simple repair. You need to remove the sprocket cover and clutch slave to assess the damage.

I hope I have given a very worst case scenario.... Good luck.

Really sorry to hear that, Crawford. Glad you're ok though.

Was that the chain I gave you? Did it break at the joining link or was it one of the regular links? I can't think why it should fail on it's own as it'd done less than 500 miles when I gave it to you and had been stored lubed in the box.

Let us know what you find and hope your title isn't too prophetic.
