Oh Dear..Clutch woes!
The clutch on the 75 has gone, it's been slipping for weeks but I've not been able to do the job. The eye surgery has postponed all of my jobs so the car is sat waiting. I've been limping around in it for a few weeks, but yesterday the slave or the master packed in. If I'm allowed later in the week I'll start a slow repair on it, I'm not risking a detached retina by being fast and foolish. I'll take some pictures as I do the work and make a post. I'll be using quality parts as usual, you can't go wrong if you have peace of mind. I've been torn between Tazu slaves and the standard MG Rover ones, I don't like the wear rate on the Tazu but I also don't like the plastic of the MG Rover ones. The only thing I can say is that the Rover ones seem to last as well as any but, the long term reliability of the Tazu is as yet unknown to me.
I'll start the job on Saturday with luck and if it flows well, I should be done late Saturday afternoon. |

I look forward to seeing this Mike, as per usual I don't doubt your attention to detail will be any different to any other job you tackle on your cars
To have a pictorial how too will dispel many of the myths surrounding this job and allow members to see how the job should be done Brian |

Clutch Master Cylinder
Anyone who is in the unfortunate position of having a worn out clutch master cylinder, should take note that although the replacement cylinder is sealed and does not need bleeding, it is worth bleeding the system even though it is a right faff on. Because, the detritus from the worn seals goes right through the whole system, and you will be amazed at the amount of thick black rubber sludge and lumps that will come out. It will be worse if there has already been a replacement master cylinder, and the system has not been bled before. Enjoy
