Series III Clutch
« on: February 20, 2006, 11:54:15 »
Hi

My mates Diesel Series III 1980 has got a ceased clutch. Not knowing much more than that at the moment what would be the best action to take?

If we try and bump it would that work?

Seized as in it's been standing for gawd knows how long or it's just packed up?
If it were me and I had a huge area I may be tempted to put it in low box and try but I think if it has seized then the future operation of it may be in doubt if it does manage to free it off anyway :?

It seized after a trip to tixover and standing for a couple of weeks.

Not sure what to look at first to get it going again.

2nd low, start it up and give it a couple of stabs on the accelerator, it has a 50/50 chance of sorting it

Can be a pain up the ****

If it has only been standing for a couple of weeks you should be lucky, start in gear and go for a drive found the block with the cluch pressed.

The clutch should not have siezed in 2 weeks I think he got bigger problems.

What does the pedal do, go down but not work or is it solid.
If the pedal goes down it may have leaked the fluid out which means you will have to bleed it after putting new fluid in. But this will not fix the problem you will need to find out where the fluid is leaking.
If you have a solid pedal then its something different as a clutch should NOT sieze in 2 weeks at all.

Some one near me moved his landy ok, and 2 days later the clutch had stuck solid, popped free with a bit of accelerater jiggling though.

I read this on another forum, not sure how useful it might be but...
After everything else has failed, try pouring coke (as in the drink) into your clutch housing. Leave it overnight, and then try to free it...

As I said, I can't vouch for this personally, but if you try it, I'd be interested to know how/if it works...  :?

Do you know if you can put it in reverse,... as mine siezes after a couple days but you can still reverse....  If so stick in reverse and then try doubling the clutch into first and slowly each gear change will become easier the more it is driven.

I hope this helps :D
