Garage / Re: Lubricating clutch release bearing guide tube

Sorry guys I left out 1 word which then makes my post misleading . It should have said " I have isolated the cable as  NOT  the source.
The clutch cable is all lubricated and working fine .

I need to Lubricate the clutch release bearing guide tube in situ as I think the small amount of grease  I had applied after doing my clutch disc has now gone and it's binding somewhat.

Don't you have 9 cars, or something like that?  Is it just one of the many?

7 Europas. I had water in one other car's petrol tanks, but not as much as this one.

I will keep checking them if they don't start, by draining the tanks. The water is quite visible at the bottom if it is present.

  Glad to hear about your new purchase. Your decision to drive the car first before a makeover is a wise decision.
  You will be in good hands here but we like pictures. I normally take a picture and email them to me changing the size below the the 100 mg size limit. Then open and save those pictures to your photo album were you can direct your attachment to post here.

  I also finished my daughter’s beveled mirror backing, and a new handle for my favorite knife.
  Oops I didn’t take o pic of the backing. Used all the windscreen adhesive to hold those mirrors on a piece of 1/4 plywood. It's still a work in progress.

  I would suggest some wd-40 blown in by compressed air. A two man operation would be best to accomplish this.
Spray the cable and then actuate the cable while using compressed air around the sheathing. The one end inside car can also be sprayed but care must be taken to not destroy the carpeting. the corrosion is probably near either end.
 You could even disconnect it from the pedal and clutch arm and do a few pull test to see if it's the problem.

  This is the best I can do. Two new gauges and two old, I could try to clock the fuel and temp gauge so that it is as bright as the other two newer gauges.  It seems I can live with this until the other two crap out.
  I’m putting it back together tomorrow but with 4 separate grounds and forget about a daisy chain.
