I fitted a EVO slave cylinder and the sprocket cover fitted without any mods.
I also fitted a bleed bolt to the master cylinder and had no problems bleeding the system
in the normal way, took about 10 minuets.
"Cheer up, things could be worse" somebody once told me. So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse.

I believe a minuet takes a similar time to the classic pop song - about 3 of our earth minutes.

So it took you about half an hour to bleed your clutch, then?

That's how cultured we are in the Coventry area - we even time mechanical maintenance by the duration of songs and dances.

...... sometimes our mechanical maintenance turns into a bit of a song and a dance .....

Some one mention yoghurt?


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
