    Hi All!

    Has anyone got or know of what to do with the clutch (no resistance at all).
    I’ve been told that this occurs when been stood too long (my fault) and may be down to the slave system?
    Any ideas are more than welcome, and I know I should drive her!

    Best regards

    Rich

    Richard, I own a biturbo model 222E and the usual problem with the clutch is leakage from the slave cylinder.  Check the fluid level in the combined brake/clutch reservoir up by the bulkhead or firewall.  If it is low then top up with dot 4 fluid and work the clutch a few times until you get some pressure building.  dont worry about the brakes as there id an internal wall in the reservoir that prevents the fluid emptying the brakes reservoir. This is not the answer but you may be able to move the car to a place where you can get it checked for leakage.  If its the master cylinder then you may get some fluid dripping on to the drivers side floor as the master cylinder is just above the clutch pedal.  I have had both these experiences.  I hope it all works out well but both slave and master cylinders are not available and you may need to “sleeve” them.
