newbie in scotland

[gaz666]

morning folks,
thanks for the help last night, though i had better pop in here and introduce myself, bought my 2.8td sport as a last minute bid on a local fleabay item,,, bugger,, no one else bid, was advertised spares or repair due to clutch gone a few days ago,,yeah,, thats not what he said to my mate when i was out of earshot, lol, anyway, body has odd rust spots,, engine started great, and i ended up driving it home due to spec lift i have not wanting to play, seems to be something to do with hydraulics,, not clutch, as it happily pulled to 8- on bypass, getting rest checked over this morning,, so will keep you posted, seems ok for £200 though

Hi gaz666 welcome to FOG.

Sounds like you may have stumbled on a bargain there mate.

here's a linky thing to a common clutch related problem.

hopefully your fault may just be a leaky seal or a duff slave, but the link may help if you cant find any obvious problem.
