Thread: Bloody slave cylinder

Right, I've just spent half an hour washing the grease off my arms after replacing the clutch slave cylinder in my 200tdi disco. I've stopped swearing and settled down a bit.

Being an idiot I managed to strip the thread on that pipe that connects to the slave. Do I have to now replace the slave again and the pipe?

even if you have the right helicoils to tap into it you wont have room to drill and tap.

Thanks for replying. I think deep down I knew I was stuffed but didn't want to admit it. I'll get some new parts and try again.
