Clutch !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After bleeding my clutch it works perfectly for 5-10 miles. Then the pedal starts to lose pressure until I have no clutch atall. I have repeated the
bleeding process more than 10 times now and I can find no leaks. Any help would be much appreciated as this is now doing my head in!!!!!!!!

Have you tried wedging the clutch pedal down to see if it loses pressure gradually and isn't down to it boiling the fluid up?? It does sound
like a leak though doesn't it!! Try leaving some paper under the car while you wedge the pedal down.

It isnt boiling the fluid as the clutch fluid isnt in contact with anything hot. Iam sure it isnt a leak but I think I will give the clutch wedging
idea a go. Any other ideas are still more than welcome.

Sounds like the master cylinder internal seals have had it, may not have any external leaks with this fault. New seal kit or master cylinder required
