Well, this is kinda crazy, but while the battery light stays illuminated when its running, it is charging and started this morning no problem. I did have a bunch of wires, unused it seems, fall down near the clutch and had been lazy about pushing them back under the dash. I'm hoping it was...

No, just the battery light is on with the ignition off. Or rather was on. I got it jumped and am letting it charge up, and it does seem to be charging, and holding more of a charge. IE the second time i jumped it last night it was closer to starting than the first, and I left it over night...

Great, this should be impossible to find. I also had my headlights intermittently going dim until I wiggled some wires, so I would think this is going to be a nightmare. Is there a standard troubleshooting guide, or best practices for this kind of thing? I was going to start pulling fuses...

Ok, but the thing that has me wondering is that the light came on initially when the car was turned off, and it wasn't on while it was running. I checked to see if it would start at that point, and it did. It's like that light being on, or whatever draw it was indicating, killed the...

I just had my battery light come on in my 93 Disco TDI, AFTER I shut down the motor, and of course awoke to a dead battery (which is new). Jumped it and the battery light was only on when I killed the ignition, and would stay lit even with the keys out. Then, the last little drive I had...

Well, good news. There is a little clutch stop under the pedal that just needed some adjustment, which I guess is a little odd seeing as how its a new clutch. The downside is that even though my clutch fork was bad (the clutch disc itself was pretty much ok), doing this in the beginning...

well, I've already bought a new one, so when we re-bleed, might as well change it. But like I said, pumping helps but its not like it makes getting into first a totally smooth operation. And reverse is just impossible, no matter how much I pump. Is it really possible that these two little...

Ok, so I've just replaced the entire clutch assembly,and the judder is gone and seems to have been clutch fork related, as the clutch disk itself was in pretty good shape, almost new. Also some wear on the pressure plate teeth, so I am sure that is all part of the judder and noise problem. I...

I just have a hard time believing that the clutch is gone after 80K kms, and although that was done under the previous owner, no matter what they were towing that seems a bit unreasonable. Thanks for the help, I guess I'll try the cylinders first just in case.

well, as soon as i loosened the nipple, fluid started dripping and pushing the pedal to the floor made it gush. The reservoir is now a little more than half full as well. But if the slave was bad, wouldn't that be leaking at least a bit of fluid as well, as though the seal inside busted and...

As I drove about 100kms yesterday, when I got back I was having a hard time getting it in any gear. Going from first to reverse quickly helped, and possibly the pumping helped. But when I got back, it was pretty much a no-go in any gear, with reverse grinding like crazy unless you did a quick...

Hey all, I've been spending a bit looking through these forums so I think I know what my problem is, but just to be sure... Recently, I started getting a lot of vibration when taking off in 1st, entire dashboard shaking kind of vibration. Yesterday, it suddenly became very, very difficult...
