Clutch Problem FL2 2007

Hi all,

Over the past few weeks, there has been a small noise when the clutch is at biting point. very much like a vibrating noise. It has only been happening first thing on a morning and only happens stationary or slowly creeping on the bite point no noise when changing gear whist moving and no slipping of the gears.

Today, luckily not too far away from home, the clutch dropped to the floor and didn't come back up. i was still able to keep it in gear and return home however had to stall to stop as the clutch was no use. The pedal moves up and down manually but only seems to be acting on the spring in the pedal arm.

I have read other post with similar issues and many pointed to the master and slave cylinders. I gather the slave is in the bell chamber, but i am struggling to find the master just to visually check it's condition. Could anyone point me in the right direct.

Thanks in advance.

is it not in the bulkhead behind the engine, lift the bonnet, lift a little access panel near the windscreen.

Sorry to say but that sounds like the symptoms of our 07 FL2, last month.

A common problem and it's a gearbox out job I'm afraid. RCV in East Peckham fitted a new slave, complete clutch assy and flywheel (which was knackered as well) for £1300which was over £2k cheaper than the local stealer wanted to do the same job

Got a feeling that our FL1 is due a new clutch soon as well, as it is now on 114k and I cannot see anything in the service history that shows it has ever been replaced.
It is being treated with huge amounts of "gentleness" at the mo as I am still recovering from the above cost.
