New and need advice :)

Hello all
I am new to the forums although I have been reading them for a while. I have a Brava 1.4 R reg owned it for a year and never had any trouble with it until now. The clutch has gone, when i press it down some fluid leaks out underneath, from a part to left of the battery. I am told that it might be the hydraulic pipe that has burst. Is it possible to just replace the pipe or will it be a completely new clutch?

If the clutch isnt worn out you can get just the offending part replaced, the whole hydraulic system will be drained and should be re-filled with the correct fluid and bled. Dont worry, shouldnt cost much, how much depends on who you trust to do it... dealer will be more expensive but they will have done hundreds of them probably.

Thanks for your replies. It turned out to be the master cylinder that had gone. Got it sorted now by my local mechanic so it was quite reasonable.
