There is nothing particularly complex about bleeding the K series clutch. The line can be bled using the traditional 2 person technique (one pumping pedal, the other operating the nipple on the slave cylinder), but a pressure bleeding system such as a Gunsons Eezi-bleed makes it an easy 1 man job. A useful tip is to pull back the lever on the slave cylinder (gearbox) end whilst bleeding as there is potential for air to get trapped in the very end of the cylinder.

(it's the red one with black stripes). I just wanted to thank you all for 21 years of brilliant support and MLOC events. It made ownership more than just the car. May your cars always be lighter a

I have recently changed my Daily from a dirty diesel to an electric. It struck me that the 0-60 times were almost identical, possibly quicker, to the Exige so my thought was, if comfortable family cars with suitcase room are now performing so well, are our cars becoming obsolete? Has the acceleration potential of EV’s made traditional sports cars meaningless? In an era where electric motor torque is rewriting the rules of straight‑line acceleration, it’s easy to forget what “fast” use
