Thanks to both of you. Douglas hit the nail on the head - I couldn't get the %^*(%^%^*() thing to go into gear this morning at all. Adding a bit of fluif and pumping the pedal like crazy seems to hav

Hi Dave, If the hydraulics don't work without any visible leak or loss of fluid, the fault has to lie with the master cylinder. Having said that, it's foolish to rebuild one cylinder without the oth
