Had look at my defender on tuesday to come to the conclusion that the clutch master cylinder was u/s, got a new one but didnt get chance to fit it till today thursday. On removal of peddal which had very little movement and taking off master cylinder found fault to actually be the pivot piont of peddal was seized,freed off and fitted new master cylinder {although original one was ok} seing as it was in bits anyway, bled clutch hey prestow all working fine.
Anyone else ever had this? Paddy happy again.
