neil00001 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 This happened 3 days into summer holiday, Luckily just 10 minutes before hand I drove past 4x4 service in Valkenburg, Holland. They stored my car until I could recover it back home 2 days later, only 40km's away. Armed with a spare master & slave cylinder and a new fork. My car was back on the road 2 days later. PITA, next time I will take the transfere box off. Thanks to this forum, the job was made alot easier!!!!!!!!!! Cheers, Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Murphy Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 It's always satisfying to get your previously immobilised vehicle back on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 have you strengthed the ball socket on the replacement arm, if not it'll go again. like this There are so many jobs i wish i had done after i joined this forum! I did my clutch and release arm when i changed my engine which was before i knew this forum existed. Of course, the clutch kit i used was Britpart (what did i know at the time? - not a lot) and the arm is not reinforced! Everytime someone puts up that link, i remember that i'm just waiting for the clutch to break in one way or another! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 get another fork & beef it up as per the link & stow it in the vehicle, then you'll be ready if your existing arm does give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil00001 Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 Thanks folks for you comments, I had also read many posts about the fork giving up the ghost, The new fork is so well armoured, 3 Armourd Division (UK) would be proud. I really wouldnt wont to go thru that job again in a hurry!!!! Cheers, Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
