Today with a couple of mates I'll be mostly attempting to replace the Slave cylinder, Slave cylinder hose and bleeding the clutch...praying to the car gods it all goes ok! Wish me luck fellas...:( ;)

 

Leigh.

Good luck fella!!!!!!!

 

Hope you've got your themal's on:D

Good luck Leigh :D

Right. Come in for a cuppa and to get warm:D Touch wood, things are going ok...slave and hose are changed and oil filter fitted (thought I might as well do an oil change while we're there). Just looking over the bleeding procedure stuff before tackling it!

Done!:D :D :D

 

I know this must seem pretty standard fair for the majority on here but, considering I'm a total novice when it comes to mechanics, I'm pretty bloody chuffed with myself all the same!:)

Finished everything around 2 o clock, took her for a test drive and everything "seems" fine. Was a bit worried about the release point for the clutch pedal at one stage during the bleeding but turned out I hadn't quite got all the air out of the system and it sits just right now. Phew. The only minor fly in the ointment is that when I got her home, switched her off to unbolt the gates and when I turned the ignition back on the left headlight went! At least thats an easy job for another day...:rolleyes: Right, I'll be off for a well earned drink tonight then!;)

 

Leigh.

Well done mate, nothing like a bit of DIY to give a sense of achievment :)

Nice one Leigh

 

You deserve a beer
