hi is the system all original, lsave, master and pipe?. my original master had stuck down, (but if this happened would disengage the clutch) has is had any trouble getting gears? ie has the original line been ballooning?. i would probably replace or rebuild the master to start as a rebuild kit is only a few quid (and easy to get to). my slave had also gone, i fitted a rebuild kit but new ones are cheap. just a pig to to. i did mine from under the car hugging the gearbox, difficult but not impossible. easiest would be to remove the intake manifold, but a lot of work to do that. worth doing though if you need to do the valley, waterpump etc. Regards Steve --- In doc-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Simon Prince" <skyhopper2000@...> wrote: > > Can anyone advise... > > Driving back to my house suddenly the clutch pedal was as loose as > anything with no operation what so ever with the car stuck in 3rd, > managed to 'slam' the gear stick into neutral and then slam it into > 1st at the traffic lights (the engine didn't really like that at > all), then an up hill nightmare - I couldn't get it out of 1st and > had to force a stall at a junction (otherwise I would have totalled > it !!).
