Clutch questions

[nickhauck]

ok, checked the reservoir and sure enough, its almost empty. So filled it up but still not getting any difference in the clutch pedal. Its like the first 80% of the pedal does nothing but the last 20% it engages just fine. Springs back just fine though. I got under the vehicle and couldn't see any broken pins. Clearly a leak though as everything has a light coat of oil on it. Not sure where its coming from but hoping to at least get the vehicle operational so I don't get stranded somewhere... so not sure where to go from here? Was going to clean it all up this weekend to see if I could spot the leak. Wondering where to bleed from if maybe thats what i need to do to recharge the system a bit?

Fill and Bleed at slave.

As already suggested get a shop manual, possibly Haynes or preferably the Rover one . Extract from Owner's manual ( handbook) on bleeding the clutch
