RE: [doc] Cough, Cough, Splutter - Fixed (maybe)

["Chris Parnham" <secretary@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Richard,
 agree with Martin, if you are loosing fluid that needs addressing first.
(The slave cylinder is very easy to get at one you have the engine out!)

I have only ever had one car where a slipping clutch cured its-self, that
was Dusty, it just needed using. It smoked like mad when Mark first drove it
up the steep back onto my brake-down truck and everyone said it was bu##erd,
but, 5 years later and nearly another 1,000 miles and all's fine.

Frenchy, on the other hand, its whole clutch assembly was simply fried!  I
got a new one from Part co in Derby, mention "Mick and Lyn" from Chaddesden
and get a good discount.

Regarding the "splutter", just use the thing!  It will probably sort its
self out. I'm not into spending loads of Dosh unnecessarily, just make sure
your AA membership is up to date!

Sorry I missed you  when you called around, and best regards,

So to sum up, struggle and fix leak, use, use,  see what happens..fix rest
as required.

Chrispy

Injector cleaner usually causes more problems than it fixes because
although it might dislodge the cause of a blockage, it also dislodges
deposits throughut the fuel system and you never know where they can end up!

You have to take the intake manifold off to get to the clutch slave, but
it's quite easy to change once in there. A failure of clutch hydraulics
cannot cause the clutch to slip - only to not disengage properly. If
leaking, there's no way fluid can get onto the clutch plate to cause it
to slip.
