As has been said above if the slave cylinder is stuck in the bellhousing don't hit it as it will brake the bellhousing cut it out which is a difficult job but the only way. I have seen many broken bell housings where someone thinks I'll just give it a tap and it might come out!

Morning all; I've been following this thread with bated breath - it made for great reading as I had a lot of pages to catch up on.
JJ, what's the latest with your 240? Looking forward to seeing more progress, - Thorne |

Agreed, the weather has been terrible. I've an old rusty Beetle I have been working on, but really would love some sunshine to be able to pull it out of the garage and weld properly. I can only imagine how much of a pain the roof lining would be, I did it on an old golf of mine and that was bad enough, let alone on an estate. Thanks for the update though JJ! Great to hear there are still jobs to do; your thread has given me plenty of ideas for my 240. -Thorne |

Whoop whoop so we've been getting a bit of sun recently so apart from a week on the Isle of Wight (in the pug e208 not the Volvo) I've been able to get after a few tiny niggles...
The DRL sidelights - always been flakey sometimes none would not come on and sometimes the other would turn off after 10mins of driving Had cleaned up all the contacts but it was clear they were just loose in the fitting This is the fitting (1989 2.0 GL) and yes that's it cleaned up haha What it looks like is there is a fixing top left fails with corrosion So a little screw from my Tamiya box of parts Well that's fixed it for now JJ
