Thanks to you both for your replies. Yes I think it's strange. Looked again this morning and the piston in the old slave is fully out. It has siezed, lots of white corrosive stuff in the area. I can only think at some point I've half forced an already defective clutch/slave and its seized when extended. I've cranked it round on the starter, in first gear and there is no drive to the rear wheels. There is 1 1/2 to 2 inch free movement on the operating lever. Thanks again..Neil

Hi..I have a 1970 Vitesse convertible. She has not been run for three years or so. Pleased with my progress so far I've hit a hurdle. The old slave cylinder was completely siezed in the extended position. Having removed this the operating lever has no spring resistance and can be easily moved manually.It appears to be stuck in the disengaged position. Any advice would be appreciated.....Neil
