Marge let me down today - had to call the RAC.
Noticed going down Whiteladies Road the clutch was biting lower & lower. It recovered to near normal, until I got to the end of the road, then pedal all light and couldn't de-clutch. Tickover at the side of the road didn't restore it much.
Checked the reservoir: normal fluid level (i.e. plenty). When the RAC man arrived he bled the slave cylinder very slightly, and bingo, all worked again! No air noticed (neither heard nor seen in bleed), and plenty of fluid, so nothing getting in at the top. Topped up with about a tablespoon's worth (after the bleeding). I took her across town to Bedminster/Hartcliffe and left her outside Landrover Services (haven't got time to look at her tomorrow & need her back ASAP), and all was fine on the way over.
She had a new clutch a year ago (last Feb) when the TDi was put in (TD originally) and new master cylinder. The lines are in good order and no visible leaks.
I'm highly suspicious of the slave cylinder, but without any real reason to go on (not much else left really!).
Any thoughts, anyone?
Regards,
