Dip stick

I have a small doubt in my mind which needs to be put to right.
Thanks in advance

I'll check mine when I go out in a little while.
My car hasn't been moved in about 3 weeks - hardly an eternity - and when I went out yesterday, the clutch is refusing to operate. Pedal moves
fine, but the clutch doesn't disengage 
Tried all the usual tricks - starting it in gear with the pedal down - no dice.
Running it on axle stands for 20 mins with the pedal down - no dice.
It's been sitting over night with the pedal down. If this hasn't worked it'll be kangarooing up and down the street as a 2nd last
resort. Failing that it's engine out time.
Anyway - I'll be out there shortly and will check the dipstick for you.

Yep
711M block - 1640cc.
I'm waiting till the street is quite tomorrow and I will take it for a kangaroo up the street in 1st gear.
That should surely do it.....

Zilspeed - make sure you try braking with the clutch pressed down fully - that often works if the kangarooing doesn't!
When it's freed, make a piece of wood to hold the clutch down when you aren't using the car - I have always found that once they stick,
they keep on doing it.

Mine did that once.
That's how I knocked my bike through the shed door . It did free the clutch though.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Back of the car on axle stands, put in 4th, rev to 5000rpm, press all three pedals down at once - never fails
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

May be worth a squirt of WD40 onto the clutch through bell housing , should burn off as soon as clutch is used. Try Marks advice safer than trying
to free it off on the road, best of luck, Rusty.

Hey
That's like a hammer - - only Wee'err
Used to know a brickie that had a 14lb hammer with a 9 inch long shaft on it. The man was a monster.
I'm a bit feart about the 5000 rpm in top concept - it scares the Tom Kite out of me just thinking about it.

Drill a small hole in bell housing, get someone to press down the pedal and inset a screwdriver blade or similar object to prise the centre plate free
of the flywheel.... hole ready for the next time it sticks........

sorry to bang on...
It has a metal collar to stop it going all the way into the engine, from the metal collar down it measures:
collar to max :6.75 inches
collar to min :7.50 inches
collar to end :8.50 inches
this is a stock 711m engine and original stick ... all the best...

Thanks johnemms
The 1300 engine I have has that number on and the 1600 I have has CA instead of BA, I was originally thinking that the end two digits were the last
two digits on the engine block. Thanks for clearing it up.
zilspeed
hows the clutch?
Mark.

Clutch freeing technique involved axle stands, 2nd gear, full throttle and brake application. So that's all three pedals in various doses.
It works now though :-)
Sounded sweet with the webers wide open in a stationary vehicle. The neighbours are verrry impressed...
