being a member of the aa or rac is just an insurance policy, anyone can call them whether a member or not, you just have to pay more. I am willing to do just that, but thought I would see if there was anybody locally that could help me out first, if not then I will pay because at the end of the day I have to get the vehicle home.

Has the cylinder gone pop or has the bracket broken? Sometimes you can re-attach the bracket using washers, cable ties etc to give you enough clutch control to be able to start the vehicle in gear and be able to get yourself home

Cylinder has popped and the bracket broken
Bugger. If you had someone to stop the traffic and were confident at reversing it can still be done. If you're not that confident it's not worth trying.

If I deem that it's quicker/safer to change the wheel than tow a vehicle off the motorway to change it I'll change it Wombles present or not.

If you put it in gear and then crank it while giving a little bit of gas it should take off. If you're not confident, DON'T DO IT.
