I've been reading past posts, and I would like to check the bigger brain here before I start disassembling. My LHD late Series III clutch really doesn't disengage - or "engages 1/16" off the floor" if one wants to look at the positive. I've had this vehicle for a dozen years but never had to touch the clutch. The fluid level was low, so I topped it and drove it about as well as I could. Very slight improvement but it still catches immediately off the floor.
I will bleed it in the morning, and I guess my next step is to try to adjust the master cylinder push rod (seems reasonably self-explanatory). However, to undertake the latter (I'm assuming bleeding won't fix it), I guess this means I need to take the wing off, then the 6 bolt cover to access the bracket? It is to loosen the lock nuts and adjust the engagement point?
This is the week of Christmas and there is over a foot of snow here. Impeccable timing. All suggestions / experience welcomed. This has happened to someone before.
