After bleeding my clutch it works perfectly for 5-10 miles. Then the pedal starts to lose pressure until I have no clutch atall. I have repeated the bleeding process more than 10 times now and I can find no leaks. Any help would be much appreciated as this is now doing my head in!!!!!!!!
Have you tried wedging the clutch pedal down to see if it loses pressure gradually and isn't down to it boiling the fluid up?? It does sound like a leak though doesn't it!! Try leaving some paper under the car while you wedge the pedal down.
somebody else had the same problem a few weeks back... buggered if i can remember what it was though. exact same symptoms i think.

It isnt boiling the fluid as the clutch fluid isnt in contact with anything hot. Iam sure it isnt a leak but I think I will give the clutch wedging idea a go. Any other ideas are still more than welcome.

this one??
Any other ideas?
Master or slave cylinder seals??
Someone Who works here had a brand new focus with similar problem - it was the hydraulic hosa blowing up like a baloon!

Sounds like the master cylinder internal seals have had it, may not have any external leaks with this fault. New seal kit or master cylinder required
Thanks for your help guys I think its time for a new master cylinder because I have replaced everything else.
