Hi all, It's ****** hot out there!!! ...and I have a problem with the manual A/C in my 1.8 Sport. It works really well, cools the cabin very effectively...however it really saps power from the engine, to the point where if I need to pull out from a junction quickly I have to turn the A/C off...

If you get your finger in the rubber (oo-er) you'll be able to trace the mechanism back. Be careful though cos it's sharp in there! Alternatively just get some grease as far in as possible and hope for the best :)

Hi, My first question on the forum. My clutch slave cylinder is dying (leaking fluid behind rubber boot). I'm trying to track down the correct replacement part but they seem to vary wildly from £30 up to £120+ Edit: Car is a 2001 1.8 Sport I've seen this...
