Taking it back to Mr Clutch as the master cylinder and or feed pipe are leaking.  >:( >:( >:(

Sounds as though their bad rep is justified.  :( :-\



Credit where it's due, they took it straight in :y

The new master has a failed seal where the feed spigot screws into the master body. Topped it up, gave me some fresh fluid to maintain the level, and booked it back in on Monday for a replacement master. All foc obviously  :y

Bet your glad you’ve paid to have it done. Heartbreaking to have to redo it yourself immediately due to a faulty part

Been down that road with my plod Omega... Changed the rear crank oil seal whilst doing a clutch change on the drive... All back together, took it for a test drive only to discover that the seal had shredded itself on a microscopic burr caused when I dug out the old one :'( £200 later...

Although, on this, the clutch master is one pin, two nuts, a spring clip and a push fit hose. Plus bleeding the damn thing ::)

Just figured out how you take off the plastic triangle on the B post, open both doors pull the bottom out and push the plastic towards the back door and lift the front door side.  when that's lose you need a thin metal rod to push down on the plastic spring assisted griper and pull plastic triangle away. and can adjust the swade seal rubbers so they fit better to the doors. 3 on back door side and 4 on the front door. now all the seals fit snug to the doors  :) :)  :y thats that job done  :y

That sounds like making an easy job difficult...

Simply pry the top away from the car 5mm and push down :y
