had the car for 2 weeks now and the clutch cable snapped this morning so fitted new one though feels a bit stiff as mentioned before leak from top hose from header tank thanks for letting me know the size i have also noticed a small leak form a hose thats prob about 6 to 8 inchs long at the rear of the head/block im assuming this a coolant hose ive managed to get my hands on a fair bit of samco vacumn hoses would this be fine to use as replacement

ther hopse on the back of the head may be leaking from the mild steel t piece thats there, they rot you see.

Samco vacuum hoses will be fine for coolant.

The clutches on them are stiff for a number of reasons, pedals, cables, pivots and worn clutches.

Check the new cable isn't goign through to tight a turn anywhere
