Chris

I can't see the leak and it's a company car so I am not fixing it I think it may be inside the master cylinder

Just keep checking the fluid levels every day until you get there and don't drive too hard.

One of those things, unfortunately. My clutch is sticking on my company car and their first available appointment was on the 8th September... Although agreed that clutch isn't quite so bad as brakes...

Unhappy

Hi Paul

I will go and check there in a bit. I took it into a sh!te fleet garage a few months ago that said they couldn't find the leak and gave it back to me like it is [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] I have since got fed up of their incompetence and damage to the car everytime they touch it and returned to using ford.

Clutch sticking isn't as serious in my view but a pain in the **** none the less. The earliest they can get it in is next friday and I go on holiday on the sunday so if the car doesn't come back the same day I won't be able to pick it up until the following week
