any1 from southend to help with clutch master cylinder?

[BaggedE30]

i havent got a clue how to do this on my own...i think the fliud has leaked out somewhere and its either the master or slave cylinder. is there anyone willing to come give me a hand? id pay you obviously

Where ever it leaked from, I strongly advise you to change both.
You may stand a better chance of getting some offers of help if you informed us where you are!

im in southend in essex mate as it says in the subject;) i looked up the price on eurocarparts and its like Ԛ£60-70 for both the slave and master cylinder. So would definately be worthwhile to do both

hey jamie (bagged) check the little black tubes and stuff, (plastic bits) as i broke mine and it wernt the cylinder at fault,. these are bmw only parts so check it out!

btw, just want to add, someone give this guy a hand, ive met him, hes a decent bloke, not your average saafend massive. been off road for 9 months so i told him to get a move on and post for help!

Only thing i can suggest is to look through the yellow pages mate. i really wish i could help but i dont know anyone in that area? Sorry

[BaggedE30]

only thing is a mobile mechanic is gonna charge loads to sort it. I may have a go at doing it myself

It's not the worst DIY job in the world, although you need to get right under the car to change the slave and bleed it, and the master is a bit of a pain to get at tucked up above the pedals. Worth taking the driver's seat out IMHO.

dude i advise you get the haynes and get on with it. its one of those things, you just have to start and then it all makes sense. believe me been there and done that.

but replace both and then bleed cause i did the slave then as you can guess the master went one week later

its not that bad just take your time. you would regret getting a mobile mechanic out.

but go and buy one of those bleed system thingys from halfords or somewhere cause it will make life easier.

[Brianmoooore]

Clutch system sometimes will just about bleed itself by gravity. Other times they are right ba***ds!
Sometimes helps to leave for a day for all little air bubbles to settle out.

give paul a call at dartford if you need a mechanic you can trust.
