Clutch gone

So parts still not recieved, they adverted a 24 hour service and my order was in last Thursday. Got an email on Friday that the parts will be delivered on Monday FFS. I was free this Friday/Saturday so I was planning on getting my hands dirty this weekend. But no... really pisses me off, it isn't the motorcycle kind off weather but thats what I'm down to at the moment

my clutch biting point is really high, and when i changed the master and bled the system it felt a lot lower. after a bit of use it sorted itself out and returned to its original point. just something to bear in mind incase it doesnt feel quite right when you are done.

So all the bits and pieces are back in the car and even after using all of your

and youtube's tips I still haven't got enough clutch pressure, so still some air in the system

The car is of the road for quite a while now and the temperatures almost plummet bellow zero now here, I've got one trick left. with an oil can pushing/pumping the oil in from the bleeder nipple upwards into the system, according to youtube the air will come out at the reservoir and that should be easier because it is in air's nature to go upwards in liquid. Is there anyone known with this method and is there a possible reason why it could not work?

Thanks!!

Well i do know they can be a pig to bleed.

We would use a pressure bleeder to bleed through a good amount then switch to manual bleeding. I haver heard of bleeding backwards but give it a go

Okey the backwards bleeding worked like a dream. From no pressure to completely bled in just a view minutes without the need of help from a buddy. So I will do a write up on that later on. But Murphy decided he isn't done with me yet. The car now won't start

Starter motor is turning but absolutely nothing happens, not even a sputter. ..

, she was just a little stubern.

Just gave it some gas, and after some sputtering it came back to live!!!!

Adjusted the throttle cable whilst I was under the hood, very easy thing to do and a huge difference in performance if the cable has some slack in it (like mine) :twisted
