this is the third time ive posted this as my comp is throwing a wobbler im goin to use it as a football very shortly !

i have a probelm with my clutch ive been on a bit of journey and lost all clutch response and had to be towed home.
i have checked the fluid and topped it up and now the clutch seems ok. im a bit wary of it but is this commen and is there anything i need to check to make sure it wont happen again. smart arse answers may not apply. i just need some help solving my mystery even if it was simple to some

my 316i has developed a similar prob, the pedal is very light at times and goes to the floor and un able to engage gear, bring yur foot back up and depress it again all is well. slave cylinder i think.

not much of a prob for me, but my mum drives it every now and again and she cacked her self when it hapened!!

[bellgtti]

it seems ok now ive topped the master cylinder back up :s shall have a look at the slave in light and see if everythin is ok. can do without it being a bolloxed clutch to be fair.

and i bet ya mom shit it lol, think the wife was more upset we might not be able to get home. still back in time for shameless on e4 tho lol

if you think i'm barmy you aint heard of dips or glen

[dirtybry]

have you checked the drivers footwell for dampness? i had a similar problen in my 320i.

if the floor is wet (clutch fluid) then the slave cylinder is knackered, you can pick one up at a breakers easily, but its a bit awkward to fit as it bolts onto the bulhead and connects directly to the clutch peddle.
