I noticed a wet patch in the drivers side footwell yesterday and thought to myself that i would get the hose out and try to find the leak. :cry:
Didn't get around to it for one reason or another, but did get around to popping the bonnet and checking the levels. No clutch fluid at all,bugger ,probably a shagged slave cylinder. I topped it up so i could use the car until i got paid only to see the fluid disappear as quickly as i poured it in. Then the 'wet patch' popped into my head. was it water?
I opened the drivers door to see a small lake forming on the carpet "B*ll*cks" :x
Fitted my project car's clutch master cylinder and all is well. The small plastic pipe with a 45 degree bend in it which is push fitted into the cylinder had snapped.
has this happened to anyone else ? Can you get the part seperately?

Got to take the carpet out now ,another great job! and its p*ssing down
:roll:
