First Breakdown

[M21MFS]

There we go then, breakdown number one!

Havent driven the car since yesterday, but even then she was juddering when pulling away. Thought something up with clutch cable possibly - today, went to pull her forward to clean and there is no clutch - just a loose pedal hitting the floor!

Looking like a shot clutch cable, but sod all I can do today and well fudge it! Kinda ****s up my weekend/week a bit!

Thats pretty good for you Martyn, that was a good few weeks of problem free motoring.

Should be a pretty simple issue to fix for you there though, hopefully you'll be back on the road in no time.

I believe its now been a month! I got the car the day of the Glasgow attacks, as I remember.

It 'should' be a pretty simple fix, but even finding the cause of the breakdown is causing problems. Im tired, meant to have an early start tomorrow and now am just stressed! :shock:

Pic of engine - would be a cable here unless hydraulic?

After lots of headscratching shes fixed again!

The clutch slave cylinder was shot. New one for 40 quid, didn't look a tricky fix but the bleeding took what seemed like forever. Car driving again, which is all good!

Did hope to get a good few photos for a how to, but sadly not possible due to lack of light when Andrew was putting the bits back together!

That certainly was a fun repair. Bleeding that clutch was a pain!

We had quite an audience at 1 point
