Check the fluid level in the combined brake and clutch resevoir.

The clutch fluid take off pipe is higher on the resevoir than the brake fluid pipe so that the clutch stops working before the brakes do. Simple safety precaution.
.

who'd have thought a fiat design could be such a good idea, surely that wasn't an italians idea!! lol

OMG!!! this is such a bad head 3 hours on it this morn and its Not even out ,,.. if it was a cento it could almost be back in

To be fair if it was the cing, You'ld probably wouldn't have this problem

Oh dear? sounds like its lets it's fluid go. Is there any fluid on the floor or around the gearbox?

yep there WAS a patch on the floor , More info as the box will be out tomoz

So found the problem ...

Ooops so that will be the problem them

new clutch and consentic slave ordered more money spent ... she better love it.. just hoping now my DMF isnt as *****ed as i think it is
blu73 gadge

haha, yeah that would stop it working

Holy Christ that's down to the rivets! that's probably the original one it left the factory with. What does the face of the DMF look like? Does it clunk when it moves?

I don't think it clicks , I'm over 120 miles away from it now lol ,
I also think its the standard clutch its a valeo one that's fiat stamped ,
I've got a new valeo clutch ,valeo concentric slave and new brake pads as mine are quite low on stopping stuff ,so after I've spent all this money on her she better pass her mot end of Nov

Well good news every body ,,... she lives

was going to put pics in her but my phone card has gone :thumbd;

but i can say that she was on her standard clutch , it was stammped with a date in the ??/4/03

so now all back together and getting miles on her back

good stuff, make you appreciate a cento even more no doubt lol. All cars are a complete hassle by comparison.

Really glad to hear that you fixed him! a lot of people might well have thrown the towel in and sent there car to the great scrapyard in the sky with the prospect of undertaking a clutch change so nice to see another one saved good job!

ha ha once the box was out , and i seen the clutch and slave was errm well broke i was like FFS More money lol ,

the box was such a pain to get out , but me and my dad ( i owe him sooo much he helped with the whole lot ) had the box almost in , and i had to leave it to go to work ,,

so my mam and dad , finnished off , and got a few bolts in while i was at work came home and put all the rest of mounts on , and a lot more on ,

the smile on my face when i first put it in gear and it work so happy lol

chris , makes me look at the cento and go PLEASE NEVER be like this

Just out of interest how did you find bleeding the clutch slave cylinder? I'm thinking I may do mine soon and I've never done it on one of these before?

Tbh mate EASY .. once i did a search on here , i found a post by davren (i think )

go down to your slave cylindet , look down at it and there will be a little cap about 2 inch away from were it goes in to the box , lift that up , and then there is a metal clip that holds the pipe to the csc , , pull that up , , then pull your Pipe towards the inner wing , dont pull it all the way off , there is two stages , ONLY pull it to the first stage , about 10 mm ish , and then you will see fluild coming out the little niple thinngy , , onece the air stops coming out , push the pipe ALL the way back on , make sure its pushed all the way in , as if it isnt when you put your foot on the clutch it will pop off

if you need any more info about it ill find the post for you gadge
