Right so. Fresh head. Fresh day.

Nipped up every nut/union on the clutch.

Bled another 500ml through.

No change.

Adjusted the pedal so the nyloc is only about half on (now secured with loctite). Success! Easy gear changes and i can drive.

Seems bizzar that for what ever reason I need that extra bit of pull to disengage without any other changes.

Now to sort headlight aim.

Not only that its developed some kind of very unsettling wobbling when driving. Akin to when you get a high wind over a bridge, but its calm and im doing 40 on the road with no wind. Its very disconcerting

check panard arm… I had super pro in that & change to oem. All other pro bushes were fine. (Easy way,stand outside motor with engine running and twitch the steering left/right. See if the body work moves)

And check drop arm nut…same as above it will jump if ball joint has gone. (Have you done the disco drop arm conversion?)
 
Not to hijack mate but I’ve a similar thing on my D1. It’s like you have to keep hold of wheel at all times. It’ll do it worse when you come out of a dip or pothole. Like you say, feels like it gets blown by gust of wind and makes my arse cheeks clench 😂

Ahh ok, ill check that.

Did the disco drop arm conversation, tightened to correct torque, driven for 3 weeks and retorqued. It could be ill check again.
 
Thought id fixed the clutch issues but no.

Test drive friday no problems at all.

Drove home last night absolutely spot on, best its ever been.

Drove to work today only just got to work, its at the point now if its in gear with the pedal down it moves on its own!

Ordered a new master slave and copper washers. This will be the third of both this year!
 
Took some time today to strip the master and slave off.

I always forget how easy it is to remove the pedal box....

Found a couple issues

Washer on the master is slightly deformed but its very minor

The nyloc on the master was also touching the pedal box which doesnt seem right to me

Last one, took the slave off and the piston basically fell out. Never had that before!

Dont know which has failed as they both appear fine just some minor issues.

Also got new copper washers for the clutching union bits.

New parts going in tomorrow, hopefully fixed...

You missed bonfire night….

So a trip to the local tip. If you go in the landy you may need a special permit but gives better acsess to the waste oil station.
I get rid of all sorts at mine,
 
When we looked at 1 house to buy,the seller said come round the back & through the garage.

Well all I saw was a rally car still on the trailer attached to a high top transit and the space in the garage….

But as the house was small mrs said no.

So moved to where we are now . Planning refused for a large garage. So put up a car port(no planning needed) free standing roller door. Fits 3 motors & drive right through to the rest of the garden.

Good luck with the build
 
😫😫😫

Got the health check back from Gigglepin...

The issue i have with the clutch is likely down to the clutch itself or something within the bellhousing.

Its barely drivable as it is and I don't want to risk it completely letting go leaving me stranded. So made the very painful choice to leave it with them... at £114 p/h i may have to sell some organs
 
Don’t blame you mate! Feel free to let your creative side flow and make me some custom light guards for my d1 or even something different to go on the rear door chequer to recoup the costs 😂.
What’s next on the jobs once the issue is out the way? Did the Landy write you a Christmas list?
My mrs asked what I’d like for Christmas. Apparently ratchet spanner’s is a boring gift?! I thought it was a great idea!
