What a crap day yesterday was.. Got a free lift home of Green Flag :x

Got in my car first thing to travel of to work (complete with hang over) and wasn't able to select any gears as the clutch felt really grindy... Friend came round and diagnosed the problem as being the clutch slave cylinder had bust it seals... Went up G,S&F and bought a new one. Replaced and all seemed good. Took her down the beach for a bit of a cruise and then the clutch master cylinder blew it seals !!!

A real pain in the arse with a hyper active 6 year old also in the car (especially when it's about 30 degrees and the car is black !!!)

My advise is always to replace both at the same time so you dont need to bell Green Flag and look a fool in front of thousands of wind surfers/ kite surfers...
