clutch hydrolioc

[Mike Noc]

You could always knock up a GhettoTech easy fill and level indicator Ian.

Did this to get me through the winter when my clutch hydraulics were playing up. Drilled a hole in an old master cylinder cap, fitted a connection and bit of pipe and blanked off the bleed hole.









Any update on your suspected power steering fluid leak?

Sure it was a diesel. Used the holes in the bulkhead that the throttle cable occupies in the petrol models.

just read in the haynes manual that the reservoir in the engine bay serves both.

reservoir in the engine bay serves clutch master cylinder.

Don't believe everything you read.

Have a shufty under the dashboard and you will see the clutch master cylinder and reservoir. Or quicker still, take a look at my first photo.

Losing the clutch at the lights of the A34 where it goes onto the roundabout would be a nightmare

Travel at a time where traffic is minimal and it shouldnt be too much of an issue.
