Any questions, please ask

Update to this one. My mobile mechanic was round changing a tyre and confirmed the slave seal had gone - swapped it out without issue and the fluid level has been fine since and I haven't lost the firmness of the lever, so all good.

Hi folks,

New to the forum, thought I'd say hello.

I've just bought a cheap-ish and cheerful-ish 1999 Thunderace a couple of weeks ago. It's had 12 owners so someone here may know it :)
