Sort of Cougar related, I moved mine off the drive today Because.....
We took lil Suzi out for a spin. Around 15 miles from home and a little out in the sticks I noticed the clutch pedal feeling strange. 20 minutes later and I had no clutch. Managed to crash change her home. Had to stop a few times at traffic lights . Restarting meant. Engine off, into second start engine. She’d just about chugg into life and then I could select 3rd and 4th.
Mrs Mabo was close to a coronary next to me, our jolly jaunt suddenly became much less pleasant for her. For me it was just a little challenge.
Got her home, moved Cougar, a neighbour helped me push her into my garage. 30 mins later I’d got the trolley under the front cross member, lifted her enough to get the ramps under the wheels and confirmed my suspicion that the slave cylinder had blown. Hydraulic fluid onto the front prop shaft. Undo the hydraulic pipe, 2 bolts and she was off. New one now on order. £30.00.
One of the reasons I like the car is the simplicity. Couldn't do that on a Cougar in less than an hour.
