pistol pete Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 well its getting there slowly i have looked at ajusting the clutch master cylinder lever to the pedal.. at it will not screw up towards the pedal anymore.. so must be on it max.. unless i raise the clutch pedal itself a little.. but now found that when cold and running the bite point is just above half way.. but as i use the car more and it warms up.. after about 15 miles the bite is back at the top of the pedal travel again.. but if i then park up the car and come back to it a few hours later after its cold again.. its back to being mid way.. am i right in thinking it is most likely going to be a new clutch? if so what sort of prices would i look at to get it changed? and any recomendations for anywhere in kent? unless there is some sort of adjustment i am missing.. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistol pete Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 okay after some thinking (ouch). etc it could still be air in the system after doing the bleed.. and the air is warming and expanding as the car gets hotter..? gonna try bleeding it through again at the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I thought you'd renewed or re sealed that, as well as the master cylinder? I suspect that's the problem if it's not rebuilt or new.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistol pete Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 okay i did just do the master cylinder... i shall have a look at that too.. i found i had to fill the master cylinder with fluid before refitting it as trying to get it to come through from the reservoir was a pig.. assumed this was normal... hmm i really wanna sort all this myself without putting it into a garage as i know of none round here i trust and i wanna be doing all my own owrk and there is only 1 way to lear.. thanks very much for you help so far chris..
