Thanx chaps.

What is it they say?

"If it ain't broke completely, don't fix it"

I have recently replaced my Clutch Master cylinder, due to fluid leaking into drivers footwell. On completion of this I tryed to Bleed the Slave cylinder to remove the air that undoubtedly would have entered the pipes. I loosened the bleed nipple a good whole turn and pumped the clutch having fitted...

JK do a kit for about 8 quid or a replacement for about 32.

I think I need to take the unit off and have a closer look. Just haven't done that yet cos still using van.

Brake/clutch fluid is leaking out all over driver footwell and I have now determined it is the Clutch master cylinder not the the brakes. I haven't removed the cylinder yet to examine it but I presume I need either a replacement unit or a repair kit. Has anyone had experience of a repair kit and any...

Thanks for that. I will check out more closely the leakage source.

I have brake fluid leaking in the drivers footwell. It's coming from just where there is a small brake pipe, just above the brake pedal. If the van stands unused for a few days there is no leakage but if the van is used there is drips of fluid dripping off of the pipe. It is really difficult to see ...

Thanks for the advice posted.

I will do more investigations this week and hopefully solve it.

I suppose it was my fault as I tried to take the mirror apart to give it a spray job but it didn't come apart easily and thats where I broke the mirror. (stupid boy).

I may have to buy one of those plastic ones you can cut to size but I'd rather not.

Thanks for that. I will change the oil and stop worrying.

Tell me about it! Started with a scored disc from a completely worn brake pad as the other piston on opposing side of caliper was siezed. I sum up the options and decide having read a bit about the subject that I have to replace the disc as it was too badly scored. OK that means I need to change the...

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good source for a replacement glass for the nearside wing mirror.

Thanks.

Can anyone help on this one?. We are off on a trip shortly and I would like to get the leisure battery to work on tow charge. The battery did charge when I first had the van but hasn't charged for about the last year. Van is a Holdsworth conversion fitted with a Warner CTF 5000 electrics unit. I hav...

Every now and again the engine when started up sounds like a bag of rattley old spanners and doesn't sound like it should for about 5 miles of use. It seems to do it after the van hasn't been used for a few days. I can't remember it doing it in the first 2-3 years of ownership. I presume it must be ...

Its not as bad or as painful as it sounds but a problem none the less. Have got to the final stages of reassembling brake calipers and fitting them back on the van. Went to try and remove the bleed nipple from the caliper and its stuck fast. Corrosion being a big problem with brakes, all the carp an...

I have a problem with my brake calipers. I would like to try and repair the existing calipers rather than buy new or exchange ones. Does anyone know how to expell a single piston from its bore if the other one has been removed. I got my local garage to try and remove it but they failed to. The flexi...
