[jonbhoy]

hi lads, was driving sat when my clutch pedal hit the floor and stayed there.. had fluid pissing out of a little tube/pipe, whatever it is on the gearbox,,got towed to my door,,luckily i had just left the house,, is it the master cylinder that i need to replace??

If its on the gear box its the slave cylinder if its the pipe then hose solutions would be the place to buy one.

I picked one up from a Clutch/Brake specialist, it was a Blueprint part so i imagine you can get them from most motor factors. Slave is really simply to replace, the hose can be a bit of a paint to get off, i made it easier by removing the airbox.

I also heeded the advice of some on here, and gravity bled the clutch, it worked alot better than the times before when i had done the pump method.
