We checked thoroughly today during the Mot and discovered that the leak is actually from the clutch master cylinder ( sited just above the clutch pedal)- we suspect dry seals as the Exsis has stood for some time in recent years.
New master cylinder ordered and will be fitted next Tuesday – will post comments on work involved next week .
Whilst writing , our Exsis is a 2006 with about 43,000 miles . I have read other postings regarding over reading of the speedo and confirm mine is over reading by about 20% ie when the speedo reads 50mph, I am doing about 40mph. Does that mean that the actual mileage is about 34,400 ( 2,600 miles per year )? If so , is this an especially low mileage vehicle or do other Exsis owners have similarly low mileage outfits ?
