Above post is May 2022, previous post was August 2018, what has gone on in between? With clutch pedal to the floor, always worth checking the fluid level in the master. If this is not low then it could be that an internal seal in the master has failed and clutch fluid is remaining in the master. macafee2 |

Typed this on the wrong thread, hence the huge time delay

Ok - installed new Borg & Beck, clutch, slave cylinder master cylinder and new guide tube as supplied by DMGRS. Long job with help, and replaced gearbox oil in the process.
Clutch good and biting well, but unfortunately on first test drive it is leaking gearbox oil. Any ideas why that should be the case? Also have black oil deposits under the area where the alternator sits. Obvious can't drive her at the moment in case gear box ceases. Would really like to get this all sorted Regards Larry |

Where is it leaking from?
Driveshaft oil seal? If it was replaced has the new one been fitted all the way home and squarely? macafee2 |

Thanks for the feedback - come to think of it, the offside drive shaft proved difficult to put back and could well have had the seal damaged.
Looked on DMGRS web site, but couldn't see any reference to a drive shaft seal. Anybody have a suitable link to order a replacement seal? Regards Larry |

I have just fitted an o/s driveshaft seal from dmgrs. I telephoned dmgrs and the standard post in reality arrive the next day the seal was £13.99p plus postage (as a part of a larger order).
As in other comments in this thread I also found once taking bits off underneath the car I found many parts needed replacing. |

Ed, When replacing the driveshaft seal, did you completely remove the driveshaft from the car, or did you leave the shaft connected at the hub end?
Was it easy to remove the seal, and was it obvious that the existing seal was damaged when looking at it? Regards Larry |
