02 diesel - clutch dementia - taxijan
02 diesel mondeo. Had new clutch, flywheel etc fitted about 5 months ago. Car goes fine for up to 1000 miles. Then will not change gear at all with engine running. Turn engine off, leave between 10 mins and 24hours, car works fine. replaced pipe, master cylinder. Master cylinder 4 weeks ago. has been fine. just failed again. any ideas

Not an expert on this but..
Did they do the slave cylinder? (ie the one you get to when you seperate the gearbox from the engine). Maybe air in slave cylinder or slave cylinder worn.
Normally replaced when clutch, flywheel etc are done.
Maybe sucking in air ? Check all hydraulic joints are tight and re bleed line?
If the leak is in slave cylinder (pipes not tight) then whole thing will have to come out...
Normally have 1 years part and labour on this type of work, so could you take it back to the place which did it?
