I'm a little concerned about your clutch pushrod dilemma. These cars are renowned for cracking the clutch fork around the pivot inside the bellhousing which will give exactly this symptom. A longer rod will only cure it for a very short time before the pivot bursts through entirely!

The clutch fork looked like it was in good condition considering, I don't think it had done too much work, I'll check the manuals because we had two different gearboxes, one was an overdrive the other was normal 4 speed, Wondering if they're a different size and thats why it didn't fit.
Also I take it these cars will run fine on straight unleaded or do they need a Four Star substitute ?
I also remember with the slave cylinder fitted, I pulled the fork all the way forward so it hit the front of the bellhousing, this alone was not enough to push the piston all the way back into the cylinder itself, The bar I had fitted came from Rimmers themselves, I called to confirm they had sent the correct one and they agreed they had. Was looking around for someone so I could measure theirs but couldn't find anyone at the time so went down the engineers to have one made up which works absolutely fine as it should.
