Het guy, please help me. Was out in the car today and everything was going well. Turned the car off for a few minutes and when I started her up again, the clutch pedal felt lighter then normal then had problems selecting gears.
Was in for a service the other week there and they said that the master cylinder was leaking. Is this consistant with my problems now?

Could anyone quote me a price of a new master cylinder.

Billy.

If it is the Master Cylinder seals (which you can see by looking for leaks behind the clutch pedal, from where the pedal actuates the cylinder) then the seals cost £7 IIRC, and the labour isn't long. Total for job shouldn't be more than £40-£50.

Fingers crossed it isn't the slave (more expensive).

Good Luck!
