HYDRAULIC CLUTCH
Hydraulic System
The hydraulic fluid reservoir is
located beneath the bonnet near the brake fluid reservoir.
Check the level of the fluid at regular intervals and if necessary top-up to
within 12mm (1/2 inch) from the filler aperture. Do not overfill otherwise clutch
slip could occur when the fluid expands in hot weather. Check that the breather
hole in the top edge of the filler cap is clear.
Topping-up should only be necessary at long intervals. Regular topping up or
a sudden fall in fluid could indicate a leak in the system and this should be
traced and rectified immediately by an authorised dealer.
The clutch withdrawal mechanism is self adjusting and therefore requires no
attention apart from lubrication at the withdrawal lever.
Fluid and Seal changes
This is not a normal routine maintenance
operation and must therefore be specifically requested when the vehicle is taken
to the dealer for service.
