Looking like an expensive week

[MR RUSS]

not been on for a while ,Terrano has been behaving(spoke too soon),clutch has started to drag and exhaust is looking a bit ropey so might as put on all together.
I'll have to farm the work out , not a cat in hells chance at work .

Back to the clutch been suspecting since xmas but got in it today and had a right struggle getting into gear and had a bit of creep at the lights , might have a go at a quick bleed an see if that improves till i can get it in
at least i'll get work and parts at trade

lets hope it is just the hydraulics, centre plates have been known to break up and before the finally do, give hard to engage problems, Rick

The straps on the pressure plate lose their tension if the clutch is overheated, are there any rattling/scraping noises when the clutch is pushed down with the car stationary in gear?

Check your pedal is returning fully too, although that would not cause the drag

The plate broke on my last terrano , no noise when stationary , pedal does have that little flick up with my toe ,looks like the bush on the pivot , i'll make one of them , i'll bleed it and see

Clutchs are strange things. My clutch travel goes down by itself over night then i pull it back up by itself in the morn

It's not leaking fluid either...

My old one used to do that , proper strange , clutch was fine today , beats me I'm always a bit suss of that daft pipe that clears off to the back .
Decided that to avoid any mither ordered clutch kit and exhaust get it done next week .......just got to empty me banger gear out the back and shovel the shale out the front

[MR RUSS]

Update time if anyone wants to know , dropped car off at my mates yesterday and got it back today , good price he charged me £175 for fitting clutch and exhaust so not too bad (he did owe us a favour)
Paid £80+ for the clutch and full exhaust came in at £90+.

Failed mot on guess what? ...front drop link , must have put about 6 on me last terrano ,anyways ordered 2 new ones off milner and the polybush kit as well .

Just done the shopping went round a bend and nasty noise time , Iknow i'm a mechanic an all that but get a right para on when its my own , so jack out test me new sealy work lamps (very good btw) and turns out the drop link had pulled off the roll bar so thats off now .
