    Nope, its the only car I have any immediate contact with that has one - maybe its an abberation, but I know the dizzy is new and it has had a couple of new caps on it...

    Andy, I think that if it was the slave that was faulty, you would be losing fluid. The master cylinder has two seals. The master cup does the work but if it leaks-by, no fluid escapes because the secondary cup keeps it in the cylinder.

    personally I've found a standrard electronic fuel pump is fine, mine is like this one - http://www.classicpart...

  • C L Carter18 May 2012

    Mine was doing that - because it had run its big end bearings.

    I hope its not that for you though.

    Have you checked what oil pressure you are getting when the engine gets to temp?
