I was being a jebend, was looking in the wrong place. Slave cylinder is easy to remove. Just near the rad. I was looking behind the engine/gearbox.

No. Brakeint should be delivering it by Tuesday morning. I wont be able to fit it until Tuesday evening.
One of the rubber gromets on the slave is loose and free leaking clutch xjizzx.
Told all the surrounding neighbors of where the car broke down to look out for it and told them the situation. :oops:
Couple of scooby boys laughed at me as they drove by. :evil: Once the Hytech and Mugen are on ill show them.

Cant tow it home really as i then need someone to steer/brake the S, that i cant trust :lol: . 25miles is too far. I can tow it to my partners house but i cant be arsed to remove the front bumper.
I should be able to change the slave quite easily.

We will see.

It won't go into any gear. And it will just stall trying to pull away and I'm at the bottom of a 400 ft elevation change.

I had this same situation the other week (leaking slave) ... Cant you just get some fluid n your gf to pump clutch til it gives you enough bite to change gears and get to where you need to? This worked for me
