    Default Master Cylinder

    I'm not suggesting a faulty master cylinder fault is always the reason but its worth considering.


    Can you tell me how much the master cylinder cost to repair / replace?

    Cheers

    You might regret asking that

    Look for the simpler solutions first... or pretend yours didn't come with cruise control

    Master cylinders are quite expensive to replace. If the cruise control is working when the clutch pedal is raised slightly I would investigate the alternatives including repositioning the micro-switch. Remember the cruise control cannot be activated below 40mph (???).

    If this microswitch called that because it's invisible to the naked eye? I was upside down again looking for it at the weekend after advice from Greeners (thanks!) but still can't find it or (more likely) know what I'm looking for.

    If I take some pics, will someone be able to point it out for me?

    The clutch switch should be white in colour, and about the size of half a match box (Length ways)

    Master cylinder about £230 should be less than an hour of labour charge.

    So, who can tell me how to make heat come out of the passenger side? I don't care personally, but apparently I should
    drain your cooling system off- assume position again, and put a 15mm t piece in place of your heater passenger/driver distribution valve. should take just about long enough for you to pass out, and not be able to walk properly for an hour when you get out of the car....

    If I do that, how is the level of heat controlled?
