  1. Looks tidy mate :clap: And I love the matching Red bucket :lol: :lol:
  2. Yeah it's a worn Master Cylinder mate, the piston seal is leaking, when it gets really bad you'll find yourself having to hook the clutch pedal up with your foot to pump it again before the clutch will operate properly- but it'll still get better after a few minutes. Still it means the clutch drags and is better fixed sooner rather than later..... Spot on mate... :clap: Yep new master and slave cylinder fitted..All is 100% now... Appreciate every ones help and advise..
  3. I can see why some members made a comment on my White Valver having a white splitter...It does look better in 'black'.. :clap:
  4. I put new discs and pads in mine last month and had no issues..If they are getting that hot then surely they must be rubbing but you reckon when the car is jacked up the wheels run free :confused4:
  5. 23k........... :nono: OUCH.......... I would not pay that much for a car..But then again if you are in the position too then why not.. :clap:
  6. Well touch wood after a good old spray of carb cleaner my tick over seems to be normal now :) I'm sure that it will come back to haunt me at some time.. :lol:
  7. Just a wash 'n' wax for mine.. After just spending 270 quid on its time to make her look her best.. :clap:
  8. Cheers mate, i appreciate you taking the time to reply :notworthy: .. I will get the thing off today and give it a good old clean with carb cleaner, along with the afm and hopefully it will sort out my tick over.. :clap:
  9. :clap: :clap: I'M BACK ON THE ROAD...Master cylinder was 100 quid, slave was 50 quid, 5 quid for brake fluid and 2 hours labour.. Total cost including Gordon Browns bit was 270 quid :( :( :( :( But having said that with out a clutch the car is worth sweet fa so I'm happy.. Just need to sort my tick over now so time to refresh my other post..

Cheers Woody We use Chris Knotts our the wifes club forum (If admin contact them they will offer club discount) and they are great..They do tend to match/better most offers.. :clap:
  11. Called up my local garage today and they came out to collect my car..He's ordered a new slave and master cylinder..Hopefully due in tomorrow..He did say that it was a pain to remove the old master cylinder which was shoot :( Told him to replace the slave whilst he's at it..Will let you all know if it cured my problem along with the damage to my wallet :censored: Looking to be back on the road by Thursday :clap:
  12. Cheers mate I will do..Sorry about starting that other post :lol: :lol:
  13. As you may or may not know my clutch failed big time.. Ok yes I did try the search bar but I feel that it comes up with far too many post.. Any way how much (approx) will it cost for a new master/slave cylinder for my 2.0L 8V :confused4: I will buy the parts for my local garage to fit cause hopefully I can get a little trade discount.
  14. It stayed on the floor..Lifted it up with my foot and it just dropped down.. For the pass week I have had to pump the pedal and it seems to get stuck about half-way down..After about 5 mins of pumping it did work!! Add this to my cold tick over problem it means starting off is a REAL BIG problem :confused4:
  15. :confused4: :confused4: :confused4: Whilst driving up the A4 today my clutch pedal just went striaght to the floor when I changed into 3rd :mad2: Then arrived at a set of lights that were RED.. I had to get out and puch the raddo to the nearest lay-by..Popped the bonnet and could not find much wrong :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: Managed to limp home, car is not sat in the garage..And to top it off I sold my bike last nite so I'm OFF THE ROAD..
  16. cracking result and a great race......... :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
  17. :clap: Makes a change,,,,, Lets hope the race is of much the same... Should be a good year, can't wait.. I will be up at 7 to watch it live... DON'T FORGET ALL THAT THE CLOCKS GO BACK TONITE.... :nono:
  18. ok i know im open for abuse :lol: :lol: :lol: and you guys are gonna tear into me but can someone (just one now,lol) please tell me or send me a pic as to where i can find it.. Due to my tick-over issue the forum tells me to check and clean this thing :shrug: On my GT3 I knew exactly where it was but not on my Corrado 2.0 8v.. Looking forward to your comments :shock: :? :( :lol: :lol:
  19. My 2.0l 8v has the same problem..But only when cold :confused4: It seems to cure its self (not totally tho) after about a 4 mile run.Almost as if the system needs to build up a little pressure so the pedal works its way back up :? I'm gonna try to book my car in at my local garage to see what they come up with..In the mean time I hope you get your's sorted mate..
  20. What a job that was.Took over an hour to remove the first caliper :confused4: Why did VW use a bolt that is 5mm to long? Therefore exposed to 15 years of road dirt/crap. :brickwall: . Heres my old disc :( Seemed to have more wear on one side than the other.. Had to use the good old black 'n' decker.. To remove that silly 6mm countersunk with +drive..A nice M10 hex head would be so much better. Any way here's my nice new disc and pads.. :clap: :clap: Finished the day off with painting my arches..Looks great but I will post pics in the right section
  21. Cheers Stuart just what I was looking for but could not find it :confused4: :confused4: If all goes well (as if it will :lol: ) I will take a few pic with the new disc's and pads in situ
  22. Just got a set of Mintex disc's and pads for my 2.0L 8V...Any thing I should know that may aid the fitting :confused4: I can't see why but hey you guys may have some handy tips :notworthy:
  23. I think they look great as they are. :shrug: .Look forward to seeing what colour you do go for.. :clap:
  24. Now's the time to buy one..........They will try to give you the BIG sell job..Wait till they offer you a load of free kit and goodies to go with the Triple...You will find it hard to walk away from the deal...ENJOY the ride mate.. :clap:
