So why do you want to use it now?
Hi Kev,
Same town as me. I take it yours is the silver saloon with x-power back boxes.
There is a clutch bleed nipple in the pipe beside the bell housing, which I have bled mine with, although it was so tight I had to securley hold the pipe and had to be extremely carefull when loosening the bleed nipple.
It is a 2 man job to bleed this pipe as you'll need to lift the pedal back up after depressing to bleed. Also make sure you have the clutch master cylinder cap securely tightened when carrying out the bleeding as otherwise when depressing the pedal you'll just launch the fluid straight out of the top of the master cylinder.
When finished, if you have cruise control, you'll need to reset the clutch pedal cruise switch, which is on a ratchet and needs pulling back into contact with the clutch pedal once it has found it's natural height.
Mike,
Clutch slave bled when car was taken to the body shop. I've got the car back and then had a service at Brown & Gammons. I mentioned that the cruise was not setting. Collecting the car they mentioned that they though it was caused by "the switch-stop/cruise brake" part (number XKD000010) which is a double pole switch in white.
The part is NLA (suprise, suprise). However, before I vent my fury at CAT it might be that B & G has not understood how to re-set the switch after a bleed. I've not been able to fully understand your previous reponse regarding the re-setting and probly will not until I get to see said switch in situ. Could you perhaps provide assistance in the form of a chat?
regards,
Kev

Cause SE spec includes it and when selling on some people actually go for the whistles and bells and thus will be wanting me to fix it before parting with a lowly amount of readies :-)So why do you want to use it now?
cheers,
Kev
