Decided it would be wise to get a fair-lead before I wear out the cable!
The winch got some nice use on Sunday :)

Suppose yours is slimline though, the cheaper ones have the outer rollers stacked on top of the long rollers whereas these are arranged in the same plane

It just 'looks' better so it must be :D
 
Yea thats why I went for it, never liked the stacked ones, I did contemplate diy it.... but for that price I can't moan!

Had my clutch almost give up! It was on it way out as I had bled it before the rebuild and it only had about 30% of the effective movement in the pedal.
At the weekend it went to about 10% so I tried to bleed it on site and it was having non of it!
Got a new master and got it bled easy enough, but still only had about 10%.
Took the slave out today and whilst doing so I noticed loads of fluid leaking from the bottom of the bell housing! Once the slave was out more ****ed out and it's clear to see what the problem is!

Sorted my tank sender finally!
Turns out 2 things were wrong, 1 of the connectors - grounds to the tank and also it wasn't making good contact inside!
Shows about 1/8th under what is actually in there... which is better than showing more!
 
I like the fairlead Mark, I have the crappy cheap one lol

I'm interested in your clutch issue. Every so often I have my clutch pedal feel as though the effective travel is reduced by as much as 50-60%. What I mean by that is that when it happens, the first few inches of travel have no resistance other than the spring on the pedal and then I get the pressure from the system.

I have a new clutch which has done barely 2000 miles and I fitted a HD fork. Wondered if it was my slave cylinder or master cylinder.

Was your pedal issues similar to what I have described?

Click to expand...

Yes, it was exactly as you described. After replacing the master cylinder it was the same, so I will let you know if it improves when the slave arrives tomorrow (hopefully).
 
Just had a call from paddocks to say the part will be with them tomorrow and then it'll be shipped to me! Rimmerbros next time me thinks!
 
Finally after a week got the new clutch slave and push rod, I was charged twice for shipping but the push rod came in the same box as the slave.... Thanks Paddocks, wont be using you again!
On the subject of push rods, not overly impressed with the finish on it, the blue thing might be why :s
