    Your clutch release bearing has managed a few thousand miles under my size ten left foot, Alan.

  • Nick and Cherry Scoop20 August 2026

    Thanks both. In the end, I released the backplate and, once it could flop around a bit, the cylinder came out. These new cylinders are really lumpy and poorly finished, with a sand grain texture all over, and proud seams. No wonder it wouldn't come out too easily. Once I had the new one in, it didn't slide as you'd hope it would, so I've had it out again, and been trying to finish it decently. Fi...

    A hillclimbing friend loved the reaction he got when he took his single-seater Megapin to France, apparently it meant something!

    Nick, I have the same predicament as I've just found one of mine is leaking and I need to get hold of a cylinder tomorrow as I'm competing in the car at the weekend.

    If I remember correctly, I released the half-shaft and eased it out a bit. You might need to rotate the hub to find the right spot for getting the cylinder out and when fitting the new one. If you tilt the car the axle oil los...

    I've had the later (2-piston) rear slaves for several years, but I don't recall the early ones being that difficult to remove. I find with my later ones that I have to rotate the half shaft and hub until there is just enough clearance for the cylinder to come out.

    You *might* get dropout with 5G - would be more likely than with wired Internet. Still, we might consider it when the (now) expensive Virgin contract ends. I'd happily ditch the landline and don't need a TV package.

    Grey, the TV must be "smart" if it's using the router (for catch-up services like iplayer).

    πŸ™‚.

    Come to think of it, it was an odd name for a car so bland it looked like a desert.

    Speaking of naming, will there ever be another named a Midget? πŸ˜„

    How about other potentially offensive names?

    If you have an MR2 in France, keep it quiet when you say it out loud in french. -- I thought they were quite good actually. Lol.

    Going back to melting ice, how ...
