It's possible he's put the plate in back to front :eek: I have seen that before, but with the DMF it would take a monumentaly stupid person to not notice :doh: Mind you, there'd be noise. I can't understand that there is a "pedal", but no clutch action. Sounds like the chap...

I had exactly same problem with the Vectra (almost identical slave cylinder/release bearing set up). I ended up using a pressure brake bleeding system to bleed it. The reason you get a "pedal" is due to the tension on the slave cylinder. Make sure the master cylinder is filled to the top...

I did this for the 1st time just a few days ago. Nightmare doesn't even begin to describe it :eek: No need to remove the exhaust, but having the car as high as poss (ramps at the back, axle stands at the front) is a big help. You need to manouvre under to the rear of the subframe and...

You are right, now is NOT the time to be farging about with this shed of a car, but now I am so far on with it I have no choice :ballchain: Besides, we wont be getting my brother back for a while yet (he was fond of drink, had epilepsy and all the pills involved in that as well as an unending...

Hi guys, I'm sure this has been covered over & over, but I am running against the clock and need some help. My wee brother died suddenly on Tuesday and is currently in the care of the coroner in Aberdeen. We await his body being returned and are in a kind of limbo. My wife and I live in...
