    Clutch pedal sticking down!

    I can confirm the inlet and outlet pipe for the master cylinder are on the bulk head under the bonnet, and it is a real bitch to get to. I did mine at the weekend, and the key is to remove as much as possible to give you as much room as possible. Start it really early, as if your anything like...

    Problem solved and fixed. It turned out to be my Clutch Master cylinder.. £59 from GSF, and 6 hours of my labour to replace it. Found when i was taking the old one off, the clutch pedal had broken at some point and been repaired. It seems that the rod had also been damaged (bent), but they...

    Clutch pedal sticking down!

    Master cylinder is inside the car under the clutch pedal, but you will need to get to the bulk head under the bonnet to release the inlet and outlet for the clutch fluid. If i'm wrong! i'm sure someone will put me right.. Its always worth trying to bleed first, that does'nt cost you anything.

    Advice wanted with clutch problem!

    Right! Car this morning would not go into gear!!!!!! When you put your foot flat to the floor it engages just before the pedal touches the floor, but not enough to open up the clutch to engage it in gear. Also the squeaking is annoying loud, and deffinatly comes from under the clutch pedal...

    Advice wanted with clutch problem!

    If you pump the pedal it makes no difference, there is still no resistance until it gets half way down. What is the plunger type thing under the clutch pedal?

    Advice wanted with clutch problem!

    I bled the clutch system, as i was told that could of been the reason why my clutch was so heavy, Oh! i forgot to mention that.. The clutch works fine, it just has to be touching the floor before you can change gear, this makes it very hard to go through the gears quickly if you know what i...

    Advice wanted with clutch problem!

    I have a problem with my clutch, but i am not sure which part i need!! The clutch pedal has to be touching the floor before it engages, not only that the pedal travels half it's distance before you feel any resistance. The clutch lever also has an annoying squeak, which is getting worse...

    My concert stereo will not come out

    I had the same problem. I found my keys were to thin, so bent when i pushed them in. Bought some more from ebay and after a bit of fiddling for 15 minutes it came out.
