He is still losing fluid and needs it fixed. He has no idea where the leak is but Ford do. Let them fix it and he can get on with his life.

Ok. They know it can only be the supply, the master cylinder, the feed or the slave cylinder.

I think they know where to look and what to do.

Ahh, Ford dont know what they are doing!

I changed one part which cost me around £7, been driving it for a few months now since last posts on here and haven’t had the problem, managed to fix it. I’m glad I didn’t go to Ford and pay £700+ for their suggested presumptive repairs! Hopefully this post can help someone else with same problem! They clearly did not know what they were doing..

Good news, but what part have you changed?

I read it that he’s changed the hose between the master cylinder reservoir and the clutch master cylinder.

And in the time its taken since the first post you could have restored the whole car.

No actually I repaired it quick after the last message at the time, not sure how long a Ford repair would have taken after they would have replaced the master, slave cylinder and then eventually clutch, before maybe getting to this part …

Well done!

53 posts later, and we still don't know what the '...this part' actually was, which has been replaced, to fix it..
