This is Brit No. 3 (ex Paddy actually) who probably needs to do this 
horrific job again.  I did it about 5 years ago in my 80q and I still 
remember the experience (all 12 hours of it) of being upside down in the 
driver's seat, my head on the floor, my hair coated with brake fluid from 
the sodden floor and my hands all wrinkled and prune like from contact with 
this fluid.

There was one washer that I never managed to fit - I couldn't hold it in 
place with  a long-nosed pliers AND apply force AND fit the final clip into 
position as there was only room for two fingers in this space.  I also 
couldn't really see what I was doing.

Now I've got to do it again - the clutch fluid reservoir level is dropping 
slowly.

BUGGER!
