Default Clutch Master Cylinder

Hi
A few weeks ago my clutch pedal went to the floor as i were changing gear,I felt at the pedal were able to pull it back into position and worked perfectly again
A few days ago it happenend again and I asked a friend who is a mechanic and he said it would probably be the master cylinder he also said if I had that changed it would probably blow the seals in the slave cylinder which would mean gearbox out to replace and if I went so far it be better to fit a new clutch at the same time, by now Im trembeling at what it is going to cost me.
I booked it in at my local Rover agents they diagnosed cluth master cylinder and fitted a new one cost £232.00 inc vat.
Everything seems fine.

Glad all is working OK but to be honest you may find it doesn't work for long The master cylinder is linked directly to the slave and if the slave is the problem then a new master will not sort it. The slave is inside the bell housing and usually it makes sense to change the clutch at the same time as sorting a new slave cylinder.

The garage will/should know this and I'm surprised that they didn't discuss it with you.

I hope that things stay OK but if not let us know so you can be 'armed' when you go back to the garage
