Just got in the car to give it a run ,car had other ideas! First, dead as a dodo-two; weeks since last used. Eventually by using a long steel rod covered in insulating tape pushed down onto battery + terminal was able to get a charge into battery. Now charging overnight on trickle charger plugged into cig. lighter socket(fitted at extra cost)
Worse to come. Upon attempting to start depressed clutch(always do),felt odd, second press hit the floorboards.Master cylinder empty. Refilled, pump, pump, no sign of leak . Trace slave cylinder(inside bellhoudsing) undo bleed nipple, fluid coming out, still no clutch. No sign of leak. Anyone got any ideas? Recently had track sump fitted at factory, is it possible something could have been disturbed by that? Will call factory on Minday but meantime grateful for any ideas. Wouls appear that to replace slave cylinder engine out job. Anyone out there done it before?
