    Rebirth of Big Bertha

    Also purchase some military antenna, as Im installing a CB... Only problem is the connecter is a little off from where the Coax cable connects to the pineapple, and the Czech pineapple looks like a mini sputnik satellite that wont fit under the wing... Some some modifications need to be made...

    JOB DONE.... thanks all for the advice. Bleed the system, allot of bubbling sound meaning air in the system. My beginners advise is to get a helper to depress and release the clutch while you tighten, loosen the vent bolt.. Back on the road. Cheers chaps.

    pedal box and floor looks clean... so its either air in the system or leak on the slave in the engine bay (Or is that the master) reservoir is full so could just be air in the system. Any instruction vids on bleeding the system?

    I think this was done 2 months ago when the mech worked on it. But problem is back, actually had trouble getting home. Had to turn off the engine, put into gear and start.... Clutch pedal is spongy and takes in at the last 10% of compression..
