Hi All

Anyone know anything about the above?

I've got a 52 plate Inca that I use for dragging my fishing and bike stuff around. Only does a couple of miles a week. I went out in it Friday evening and the clutch pedal hit the floor. I pulled it back up by hand and then the pedal locked solid. Got it towed back home and had a look at it.

I removed the slave cylinder at the box end and that freed the pedal. So I'm assuming the cylinder is toast for starters. I removed the box inspection panel behind the front near side wheel and found that the release bearing lever had a crack in it, so I've welded that up ready to go black in.

My question is should I be able to push on the release bearing to check it's working? As it seems to be fully in all the way. Never actually changed a FWD clutch before so any advice would be appreciated. I was planning on replacing the cylinder and bleeding it to try before breaking the box from the engine.

Thanks KY

Thanks mate. I think you may be right.

Do you know the oil spec for 1.9SDi please?

Cheers Karl.
