    New Pootrol Owner

    Hey all just bought a 95 GQ TD42 Silvertop with a bunch of features.

    having a few issues break squeal sorted with new breaks and shims :P

    but now after a few weeks of driving the clutch bite point has moved from about half way to the floor to almost the top of the pedal looking at bleeding the lines but unsure if that will help or it needs a new clutch.
    Trying to avoid a new clutch due to the cost.

    cheers for any suggestions

    Welcome to the forum. Unless the clutch is munted or the adjustment on the pedal is loose, then that sort of shift usually means air in the system or a problem with the master or slave cylinders. I personally would change out and bleed the clutch fluid, since you have only recently bought the vehicle.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    thanks mudnut just had a look at the adjustment under the dash and saw the nut to hold in the adjustment (no idea what it's called :P) was loose but im not to sure what the tolerance should be and how to check I'm assuming Counter clockwise to bring the bite point closer to the floor and ensure its only a little bit of play?

    You'll have to get a workshop manual for that info, sorry. AI went through all my files and stripped all the manuals I had downloaded.
