[Roadsters] Clutch woes, 69 2000

[peter harrison]

check the line first (this way any fluid squirting into the engine compartment
will be minimised) - i had a line touching another that abraded a sudden hole
- tada - nada. - Fill it up, have a LOT of water handy and gently pump with
S.O. watching carefully - ideally LOTS of light on the engine compartment.
Then check the clutch hose and the slave cylinder.Hopefully a hose - easier to
replace - though if so - also check the brake lines - probably same age and
potentially awaiting the same defect.FWIWPeter
