when i first brought Bonny the cruise control didn't work, went out & bought a new sensor for £30 & after 3 monthes that packed up as well. It turned out the brake/clutch servo is weeping very slightly & going straight onto the clutch switch. So this time i've tried to protect it by wrapping it in the plastic bag it came in. It works so just got to see how long it lasts

the leak isn't actually that bad, in the 8ish monthes i've had Bonny i've never had to top the fluid up its just the little that is leaking goes straight onto the clutch switch. Plus they wanted £174 for a new master cylinder lol

i haven't looked into it tbh mate, its not causing a problem with the driving it just knackered the switch. I was quite happy to have it without the cruise control but my old man brought me a new switch for helping him buy his D5 & had to get a few bits from the main stealer himself. We used my VPCUK discount so he still saved money, i'll try & repair the old oiled switch so i've got it as a spare incase the new one does go as well
