as some of you know i have bought leet's car, drove it home on saturday and stuck it on the drive hopeing for a dry sunday.

sunday arrived, it was a lovely day so decided to go for a spin, a mile down the road and the clutch pedal just wedged itself to the floor. BUGGER!

couldn't find anywhere to tow the thing so i put it round the strut brace mount.lol

had me old mate damo come take a look and come to the conclusion that it was the master cylinder, changed that last night and it still didn't work! turns out the bearing carrier/sleave has snapt, so we gotta take the bloody gear box out!!

anyways i'm not complaining:) because i love the car to pieces, just want to have another little drive. thank god it didn't go on the m25 on the way back :D

Unlucky mate. Still, shit happens - could've been worse.

 

I once had to drive a car from Oxford to Portsmouth with no clutch pedal. It's not too bad once you're moving but you'll do almost anything to avoid coming to a stop! Getting going again is less than graceful :D

Yeah, that's a problem for a lot of Supes with non-standard bumpers. I would have thought the front engine hook might have been a better choice though.
