thanks for input. today got hold of a vacuum bleeder and after pulling litre plus fluid through got 3/4 pedal so its drivable now. what a pig, thanks again.

thanks for that. pedal is smooth full travel.push rod still attached to arm at slave end and travels freely. going to have another go at bleeding but flywheel worrying.

furher thought. If flywheel problem would engine still run smoothly?

have bled it but never know if enough. pumping makes no difference. will try more but worried there might be a mechanical issue like the 300 arm wearing.

2000 td5 totally lost clutch. no pedal. changed both cylinders, no change, any ideas out there please?

thanks for that. might look for another 200, or rebuild this one.

just the job. ta very much.

got a 200tdi 110 with dead engine,any reason why a 300 from a disco i shouldnt go straight in?

Thanks for suggestions,Had another go today.Took off lift pump and found it didn't seem to be pulling, or at least not much. Fitted new pump,bled and await tomorrow morning.

A new one on me. 300tdi needs churning over a lot to start after overnight or longer stand.Then perfectly OK starting and running. Can the injector pump drain? Heaters ok, but would start anyway.No leaks, no air at filter bleed

Hi All, Having read about all the problems,I've got the one where I think the head drains on standing.Does anyone know which model td5 should have the in line non-return valve?

Which way should the arrows point.I've wrecked them before by fitting backwards so should know, but memory's getting old as well

are the 3 coloured @boxes rt of the pedal the relays?Surely somebody knows which is for the wipers?

I've donee without removing dash.UNbolt steel strip over fusebox, bend plastic,(it recovers ok) cut pipes with hacksaw blade.undo couples and it will slide out. Refit usng hose and jubilees.About 2 hours.

I'm only an old novice but had a similar problem caused by air getting into through the input union on the lift pump
