Yeah, please do mate... I will be interested to hear the result. Hope its not the slave as that sounds like a nightmare! :banghead:

Although, I do agree that while the G/B is off, might as well do the clutch and bearing kit if the car has done a few miles. Hopefull it won't come to that though!

Good luck!

Ok so finally after approximatly 10 days at the garage I finally got my beloved LCR back. he changed the Master cylinder over. Total cost for the fix £187.40 not bad considering the amount of time he had it.

Went out for a drive that night, nothing to crazy - and low and behold it starts to happen again. Following morning and I pretty much have no clutch. I honestly believe it felt worse than when I originally took it in.

Garage offered to look after me, bought it back down, he had another look over and said it had to be the Slave Cylinder. he better be right. Ive been told its a nsaty job having to remove the gearbox and clutch in order to get to it. So the cars back in having the slave replaced.

I love this car - Ive had it just over 12 months, 56k on the clock and only spent a total of £290 on it. That included uprated brake pads and fitting, 50k Service and this bloody master cylinder.

BUT! not sure how long ill keep this LCR now to be honest. It does seem that anytime I speak to somebody about their LCR they seem to have a LOVE HATE relationship with it. It seems unless your continuely spend money on mantainence (which is fine if ya rich) its a car that seems to be go wrong. Man..... I hate saying that cause I love my motor. I think when somethng goes worng with anything you own, you just get a little disgrunteld.

Here's hoping. :D

I must admit Andy, it did sound like the slave from all the symptoms before. It was a good plan to try the cheap fix (Master) first though. The gearbox off job sounded like a task!

Good Luck, I hope that after a month of having it fixed, the disgruntled feelings go and you are back to loving it again!!!

Ok so got a call from the garage last night!! Now getting the clutch and Fly wheel changed as well as the slave cylinder. [:@]

£690 for the whole lot to be done. That includes the Master cylinder he'd already changed so I guess not too bad.

Should have it back tonight. fingers crossed.
 
I just had a call from the garage saying all parts fitted and it still has the same problem. :doh:

Having trouble bleeding the clutch. Apparently he's left off the main reservoir off trying to let it bleed naturally. If that doesnt work he's calling SEAT to find out what the hell going on.

Makes me think should of gone to the stealers to get the work done!![:@]

Ill know by 4pm... :banghead2
 
So sorry mate, this is slowly becoming a nightmare aye!?

Still interested to hear the outcome so thanks for still posting the progress.

Really hope it gets sorted...
