how soon is too soon?

Evening again,

Last autumn I took my car to a very well known place for some engine work, among which was a clutch replacement.

After a hefty bill, collected the car and the clutch didn't feel quite right. Being new, just thought I needed to get used to it. Sure enough, halfway home, the clutch let go on me altogether, so with the help of my other half Ems, we bled it, and got it back to the workshop.

They replaced a seal which had been damaged when fitted with no problems, but when I went to drive the car this morning, the pedal felt as though there was air in it again. I checked the master cylinder, and sure enough, it was dry.

So I bled it again, and all is well currently.

My problem is this, although the work was done Six months ago, I have barely covered 500 miles since.

Is it too late to take it back for a third time, I'm at a loss as to what to do, as it's no small task replacing the slave cylinder seal.

What do you folks think I should do?

Thanks

I would speak with the people who did the work and see what they think/say.

Make sure the system is bled correctly with no air in it, then make sure the seals in the master cylinder are Ok and it's not leaking, if the car has been standing the seals will fail,( clutch fluid in the football indicates leakage).If all is Ok make sure there is no fluid under the car, this will indicate the slave cylinder is leaking. If all appears Ok, take it back to the people who fitted it and tell them it ain't right.
