Well, the clutch has gone now. It's a sealed unit, the master and slave cylinders come as one part joined with a pipe. The slave lives INSIDE the transmission. So, basically, if a cylinder leaks, it's new clutch.
Wait for it...........£800 to £900 >:(
Omegas? Cheap ;D ;D

Wife just got home from work in the car we had to hire (focus). Got a tiny dimple in the tail gate that wasn't there this morning. No doubt that'll be the £100 deposit gone as well.
I'm really not bothered.
Burble burble gern fart cry :o :o :o :o :'(

The vectra b has also got the slave cylinder in the bell housing and these fail as well causing a replacment of the clutch kit. the slave is £80 + vat plus the clutch and the cost of the box out as well. :o

Someone told me mondeos have gone that way as well. I'm sure there's a good reason. She's done a fair few miles so they obviously last ok.

Hmmmm.......the alfa.
Needs a rad. Bought it (£165 Valeo) but cant afford to have it fitted now. The one that's in it will do for now.
The gearbox has a slight leak.
The xenons shine about two foot in front of the car. If I put my main beam on, it shines like normal dipped beam. That will be self levellers as well then.
Good job I'm mad, or I might shed a tear ;D ;D

Carefully take the inner panel out & you should be able to push the dent out from inside, save a wunner! If it's double skinned you probably wo'nt do it without the right tool. Having mates in the trade i've seen what they do with bendy bits of metal in minutes, but it's worth a look. :y

You should get a pair of trousers with the backside cut out for when you visit the Alfa dealers, it will save the parts and service manager some time ;D

Inside the transmission, or inside the bellhousing?
I'll sell you an Omega, with a new clutch and exhaust, for £5,000...... [smiley=evil.gif]

New master cylinder (£155+VAT) seems to have cured it. Although, I have heard, once the master goes, the slave is usually not far behind. Time will tell. ;)

Glad it's fixed...
Bleeding clutches is a funny thing, as I have recently learnt!
What was wrong with the old self adjusting cable clutches... :'(

The ford ones were awful. They used to click all the time and even just go straight to the floor now and again. They were a swine to fix once they'd gone as well.
