[Vwdiesel] Still chasing an air leak, only there now when engine is hot

Here we go...

[OK I know my welding is ugly  but this weld is a good un with a little 
extra underneath.]  The lever actually only fractured half way but that was 
enough to allow the lever to spring up in preference to operating the thrust 
bearing.
Only other time I've seen this is on a 'Dasher' 1.9l   5 cylinder manual 
clutch where the pedal snapped off 100 yards from home. The following year 
the Quantum was born and this received the 2l engine with hydraulic 
clutch.... That old Dasher clutch was soo stiff you ended up with a muscular 
clutch leg :o)
