Got a weird fault with the above - pretty sure its the clutch slave
cylinder - can see fluid dripping from the bell housing...

But the symptoms are weird...

get in - clutch is UP, works fine, can choose gears.
Can do that for ten mins...

Drive off - with 2 mins - clutch pedal drops to floor, no clutch action
unless pumped - works a bit.
Park up, clutch works...

So couple of questions
1)Can't get my head round pedal - no like brake slave failure - never
seen a pedal start working again on brakes unless pumped... why?
2)Button on clutch pedal - what for?
3) Wheres the clutch master cylinder?
4) How much for labour (slave cylinder £30)
5)How long/any tips for diy? How long?

1  it must now be very low on brake fluid (feeds the clutch circuit)
there were some problems with a compensator valve in the circuit at one
time.

2 button tells the ecu you are changing gear

3 back of the engine bay, follow the pipe.

4 2.4 hour job so 200 quid ish

5 you need quite a bit of equipment to diy, easiest is to take the engine
out.
