Easy fix for the known pdeal
problem, once the plate has snapped off you can use a m10 nut/bolt and m8 nut/bolt to permanantly fix this,
As you look at the top of the pedal you will see a 10mm hole at a vertical angle, put the m10 bolt through the hole from the top and bolt the nut tight so it holds on the metal plate, This will stop the plunger on the master cylinder shooting through the pedal,
Now, if left like this, when you take your foot off the pedal the plunger fall out as the pedal returns too high, Get the m8 bolt and thread the nut half way down the bolt, ( you will need two m8 nuts)
In the pedal box braket above the pedal you will see a 8mm hole, put the bolt through this hole so the head of the bolt is facing the pedal, put the nut on the other side, with the two nuts on this bolt you can adjust how far the pedal returns. adjust this until the plunger no longer falls out,
Job done,
Hope that helps guys, I'm jst looking for an LCR and will be keeping these nuts and bolt in the tool kit.
