Got to the MOT station and drove their fine handed the keys to the tester he goes out and short time later returns says sorry mate no clutch. Managed to bleed the slave cylinder and get it home and today changed the master cylinder but still no clutch. Turns out the flexi hose has given up so more work tomorrow.
 
It will all be worth it in the end hope the retest goes ok mate you deserve it after all the effort you have put in.

The flexi let go on my 90 during a conversation with my son which went "stick your head under there and when I pump the peddle you look for where the fluid is leaking from" ......he wasn't happy and I tried my best not to laugh too much ...poor little sod
 
new flexi fitted and clutch working again try for MOT in the next few days and lets hope it passes
 
its a PASS
bit of a whine when I decelerate from the rear diff any ideas ???

cheers James
will give it a go
going to use it for a while and see if anything else goes wrong first it has plenty of oil in the diff so would think it will last
 
put grease in the uj joints and seems a little better but I think James has diagnosed the problem its the pinion bearing
saying that drove very well felt quite responsive steering good and quite light
do you need to take the diff off to replace the bearing
 
repaired the back door panel with new hardboard just not able to pinion bearing for a few weeks
