Okay I've found the problem with my clutch some monkey has cut the pipe and sleeved it with a piece of air hose, the patch isn't strong enough to take the pressure so it's "ballooning" every time I depress the clutch pedal.

I can't get a pipe until Thursday so I need a temporary solution to the problem, I'll try to get a photo up of the botch but basically I think I need to sleeve the pipe with something to stop the bulge !

Any ideas ?

Update just in case someone else finds it useful, I've just got her back on the roads again using a 2" piece of 15mm copper pipe 6 20mm - 13 mm hose clips (jubilees) I cut the pipe along the length and folded it in on itself sleeved over the original bodge and then put 4 jubilee clips on the copper and 2 on the ends of the rubber hose to secure it, works fine not sure how long the fix will last but it should get me through until I can get the new pipe from the breakers !

Only owned a Jeep for 9 days and it's cut bodge and fix already !

Ok this original bodge broke first time out so I went to my nearest Hydraulic truck specialist and got a 7.5 mm brass olived connector, patched the pipe with this been out to play with her tonight off road and in 4L up and down some good ground no problem not a sign of any sort of leak, seems she's fixed !
