Look for any leaks first.
Try bleeding the clutch circuit next.
If it persists- replace the clutch master cylinder seals- cheapest first option.
Then replace the clutch slave cylinder.

Hi Scottie
I've no experience with Triumphs apart from a TR2 engine in my first TVR.
However- it looks a lot like the voltage regulator in the back of a Ford (Escort era) speedo.

So- on a...

My suggestion is that Scottie completes his, drives it round to Hoffmans, parks up next to the black one and asks them to make him an offer. Then ask them why the figure does not approach £275k...

That is my intention- my Z300S will be at Stoneleigh still in white gel coat with white primer in places and its try-out red stick-on stripes.

I'd rather be driving it.

I had one once Mick, it had a 997 mated to a standard box.
It only became a rorty 1500GT+ with a Corsair box (see off a TR6) when transformed into my first Jago Jeep (as we could call them then).

Long ago and far away I re-panelled my Lotus Seven S1 using 1300 3/16 rivets- using a hand riveter- broke two of them. Should have drafted in Steve Austin.

That's the best price, Scottie.
The jeep did need recalibration as I have 235/75x15 tyres in place of the original Escort 155x12, albeit with a lower ratio diff. Because the rolling circumference...
