I never trusted large-ish garages and I proved myself right again....
With some difficulty I drove to see a mechanic in town...
I persuaded him to have a quick look under the bonnet of my car, and the diagnosis was what I suspected all along but didn't have the guts to tell the guy that usually services my motor.
The clutch Hydraulics fluid was perished, and nearly out....
After a while we located the oil reservoir under the dashboard, of all places, and he proceeded to bleed out the bad stuff, while at the same time refilling it with a syringe...
He deserved the £40 he asked after the job was done.
Saved me a right bundle....
He also taught me some swear words I never heard before....
