Did the job of replacing the clutch master cylinder as you suggested (bleeding at the master cylinder only) and it worked fine. I did buy a new slave in case something went wrong but have not needed to use it. I suppose it is there if I need it but I bet it is a so-and-so to replace.

Thanks Gordon

Great stuff!

Glad it all went well Gordon, and that I could help....

Yep, I found the slave cylinder is a little bit trickier... it actually made me laugh out loud when trying to replace one of the bolts, only pure determination got me through it! That said, if you can change the master, you can change the slave... does require axle stands though, plus my wheel nuts where rounded off so had to get a mobile tyre fitter out to get the wheel off (!) but took the opportunity to replace all the wheel nuts and bolts... about £1 each from Megabug

I'm looking forward to getting back under the van again soon (maybe this weekend if the sun stays out) to replace the starter motor and bush.... it's all good fun this game
