Sudden clutch failure
Discussion
After having the engine out since the clip holding the pushrod had snapped, new clutch slave cylinder , retaining clip and clutch fork.., all was fine for 100 miles.
Then bam! Suddenly clutch right to the floor, no pressure at all and a trail of clutch fluid on the road.
Clutch fluid pouring onto the floor through the hole in the bell housing.
Surely if it was the seal, it would be a gradual leak? something makes me think it's more serious?

If the seal has totally failed then fluid wil run out, a little goes a long way on the floor as they say! If its a relatively new part then exchange, make sure that due to incorrect fitting that the piston has not blown out of the cylinder. Remove and investigate its a simple system and not a long job to get to the bottom of it :-)

AA have accepted my claim under the parts and labour cover.
They are paying £465 towards the repair. They already paid out £465 last month for the car
Don't have the tools or time to be removing engines, so this takes 90% of the bite away from it.
Besides, it;s raining all summer here. Boo!
