strange problem
Posted: Wed Aug 23, 2006 11:02 pm
well i did an oil service today on my car and replaced the disks as they needed doing. so all went well apart form me getting the long and short bolt mixed up ( caliper bolts) now all fixed.
but during my testing when i couldent work out why the peddle wasnt firming up ( cos the caliper bolts were wrong way round the top of capiper was moving.)
i managed to get the car into gear without pressing the clutch and the clutch seemed alot lighter than it was before i serivced it.
so i went and did a standard test press clutch down stick her into 4th with brakes applied see if i can relese the clutch without stalling. ( the engine stalled like i hoped it would)
so my problem is the clutch peddle is ligher than normal
bite seems low down
and it will go into gear without the clutch down
im takeing her for a drive tomorrow so i can assess the situation hopefully it was just my imagination and its all fixed itself overnight.
and i have a messy job to do when i get time ( change the CV boot) i only replaced the joint about 10000 miles ago hopefully its not to far dead )
