For a while I've been having some difficulty with the clutch pedal not returning reliably. The clutch assembly itself is only about 20k old and doesn't get worked a lot.
I started by stripping the master out and cleaning up in metho, it felt like it was working fine, then flushed the fluid from the whole system. This worked better, but the fluid is filthy again after just 6k or so - none missing, just absolutely black- and the pedal has been failing to return.
I noticed that I was getting a shorter and shorter time from the clutch before it would stick down, where I could sit at the lights for a couple of minutes, now I only have ten seconds or so.
But here's the really odd part. I set off across a campsite today, first gear 1k rpm for five mins or so, and went I went to find the clutch after, it had sunk all the way to the carpet. The pedal had actually pulled itself down.
What's going on here?
Cheers
