Good god is it that bad, I thought I had problems I guess it's not drivable. If I can't be bled it'll probably be the slave but he'll know that and should have said to get a new one when getting the clutch unless there was proof of one recently fitted.
Surely you don't need to scrap it! |

Don't laugh
The slave and master were replaced in 2016 they were not the issue
The issue was the "mechanic" was trying to bleed via the break master not the clutch master under the pedel it's now sorted I hope I'm going to collect her tomorrow Then find a different mechanic to fit the top mount that needs doing |

Couldn't help myself , I laughed.
Please don't let him near your brakes. Might be worth posting where the garage is so others can avoid. Stan

Now "we" all know this is not true. But it is perfectly reasonable for a competent mechanic to refer to a haynes book to check a parts location. After all I feel I am a fully competent mechanic, but when I replaced the bearings in the gearbox on my wifes car I still looked in the manual to see where some things were routed/located.

A top mount is a relatively easy job, providing you have spring compressors (as well as the confidence to use them lol) decent socket set and sockets, as well as some plus gas or other penetrating fluid. If nothing is stuck too fast, it should not take more than an hour taking your time to change each one. You dont even have to compress the spring that tight either, just enough to release its tension on the mount. Sent from my SM-A600FN using Tapatalk
