I look forward and keen to learning more about my car on the forum some people really no there stuff :-)lincoln Edited 22/05/09 07:15 AM by phoonme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the clutch has been changed you may want to try that to cancel out some possibilties. Another thing to look at could be the Slave cylinder, the genuine ones are plastic and have a habit of getting lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then gravity will bleed the fluid from the resevoir (with the cap off and someone there making sure the fluid is always topped up) and the clutch will be bled.Post up in Mal wood's section of this forum for more information, and he might have some other tips/hints on how to adjust the clutch to suit..
