James, I had probs with the ZT-T clutch, turned out it was the cylinder above the pedal! Removed domed seal under cap and bled/refilled system, no probs since. Symtoms were lots of travel with little resistance and very stiff gear changes, extemely difficult to get into first some days. HTH

Unfortunately I had the master (the one above the pedal) changed this time last year.

The previous owner had the clutch changed coming up to 2 and a half years ago, but he got a "very good bargain" at around £350 so I fear they only changed the clutch plate & cover, not the slave which has now likely given up the ghost :/

Still, should know more later.

New one fitted tomorrow so at least I'll have the car back working again.
