Jeremy MkIII 14 April 2026 Les,
I had a similar problem with the clutch dragging. Like yours the clutch has a roller release bearing (but from Peter May as Alan's weren't available at the time).
It was the slave cylinder.
Usual suspects' slave cylinders partially cured the problem but it would recur when the engine was hot and they failed regularly.

Les Rose 14 April 2026 Please excuse slow replied Paul, there was a short delay why I installed a new master cylinder. Sadly the clutch behaves exactly the same. I have made the pushrod adjustable and with it set at 2 11/16" there is no free play and the release bearing seems to be tight up against the release pad.

T Mason 14 April 2026 Jeremy, Im fully aware of what Starmer is planning and he cant be allowed to get away with it. We shouldnt be pandering to anything that the EU want to bring in. Frankly I find this more concerning than the war in Iran.
