Mine was fine when cold, then same symptoms as you. Got my new cap from Rimmer Brothers as it was a Land Rover part (2009 Sigma)

Sounds like a faulty expansion bottle cap. I had exact same symptoms earlier this year. New cap sorted it and I now keep a spare.

Expansion cap failure on mine. Carry a spare now.

Great news Matt, hope you are fully up and running soon.

Thanks for the heads up Jim, mine arrived today...perfect fit.

Re Paul Richards comment. I had the same problem....cured immediately with a drop of oil.

Hi Oli,

Some in "for sale" section first page. Off an SV but not sure if WT.......do you need wide track for the pram?

See SKC post further down this page....may help!

Hi SKC,

I have the same system on my 2009 car. I was given this information when I needed to bleed mine but solved my problem by altering the pedal stop. The information I was given is as follows and, I am told a bit messy so plenty of paper towels!

1) Slacken Union a little and pump fluid through (bell housing end)

2)Final pump, pedal all the way down then tighten Union (2 people required)

3) Make sure reservoir does not run out of fluid.

This info was given to me by a racer who had the engine in and out regularly, though I have not tried it.

Last year I had the 140 SS conversion done by Sevens and Classics which involved the engine out and new crb. I helped (sort of) during the conversion and made notes of the clutch bleed system which is as follows. 1) Fill reservoir (it had been drained)   2) Pump pedal - fill reservoir , keep repeating  3) Hold pedal down to floor, open bleed at reservoir  4) Fill reservoir  5) Repeat until bleed finished.

This only took a few minutes and did not involve bleeding the slave cylinder, the car has done circa 6000 miles since with no issues.

Hope one of these works for you, would be interested to know how you go on as I have not had to do it yet! The guy at S&C said it was not as fiddly as trying to use the bleed system on the newer cars. It certainly seemed simple when we did it but experience counts for a lot! Good luck.

Hi Phil, I think I am sorted with a tall one, thanks.

I had the same problem on my Sigma, but what Paul Richards said is correct, I was not pushing the rubber insert home. Works a treat now with the Halfords set.

Good luck Matt, if you are in for a while......enjoy the bed baths!!

Advice please on my trailer tyres. Loads of tread left on them but the date of manufacture is August 2005. Would it be advisable to replace them before next season?

Thanks in advance.

Oli......shouldn't you be changing nappies instead of looking at BC......modern parenting!!

Congratulations to you all. She will grow up very fast, enjoy.

No pressure there then Simon!

One for me please Chris. Thanks, John.
