Hi All,I am the proud owner of an '89 liteace cr30 4wd manual ,bought with 90klms and now has 103kmls on it had it now for just over a year and have had no probs at all, except a creeky clutch pedal seems to change gear etc ok but a little stiff to press ,any ideas? is the clutch cable or Hydraulic?. Keep up the good work on this great site as it was this that convinced me to buy one of these little devils!

Hydraulic, the creeky noise is most likely the return spring on the pedal arm. A squirt of WD40 on the area, plus on the pivit arm should ease things for you. Maybe unlucky and have a worn nylon bush on the pivot, but you would feel uneveness through the pedal if it is that.
Both jobs easy to do ONCE you have got yourself into a position to see the pivot arm. If you are my shape (large) it is not easy, upside down in the seat slide down and have everything to hand plus a torch!

I have a liteace td and my problem is the clutch wont bleed up !
it has been of the road for around a year with the dash and the servo out and now been put back together.
I have bled the brakes up with no problems.I have took the clutch piston thingy of at the side of the servo and done a manual pressure test and it didn't leek and it kept its pressure,there is no leeks in the pipe,at the side of the gear box there is a alloy housing with a bleed nipple on, the piston in side was slightly sticky but now has been cleaned and freed off and finally there is the last black piston cylinder that goes to the gearbox housing,this was slightly seized and all it needed was a slight tap with a 13mm spanner,I pressurised the topup bottle and managed to get the clutch slightly working and when I came to it the next morning the pressure was the same,I tried to bleed it up (peddle down,release,tighten,peddle back up and repeat)and every time it totally looses all pressure.
what am I doing wrong? there is three bleed nipples on the clutch,is there a special tool on these things

I would be really grateful if someone could help me
