The clutch has been getting slowly worse for a while. After a short drive on Monday it became pretty bad to drive.

A quick strip down revealed:





The release bearing was seized and the plunger hole in the wok had gone oval. So new wok, plunger, bearing and centre followed by a good bleed of the slave cylinder and we're back up and running. Loads better now.

I may know someone who wants the auto engine an box. not sure if there is much on the car we will want for van though.

Perhaps the hydrogas cover plates off the front subframe if your car is fitted with shockers. We are also in need of a door but not sure whether we need the drivers or the passengers?

[apbellamy]

As John says, possibly drivers door if it's any good. Might have a source for the hydro can covers
