Before I set to, as it were.

1. Should the slave piston "pop" out of the cylinder without any
pressure on the lever?

Not unusual if the master cylinder is sticky, but it's should hapen.

2. Does this suggest there's too much fluid in there?

No. There's a need for hydraulic pressure to push the slave piton out and
overfilling the res doesn't provide that pressure.

3. Do the new plates need soaking in oil before fitting?

Absolutely. I wouldn't think of anything less than 24 hours either.

4. New or old oil?

Always.

5. If one clutch spring is good, is two better?

Better for what?

6. Could I just plonk the new spring on top of the old?

If the design calls for one, I'd stick to using just the one, but I'm odd
like that.

7. Or should I leave it standard?

There's a thought.

8. Is "Natasha Kaplinksky's pregnant" really "news"?

It would be if I'd impregnated her. I had a vasoff years ago.
