Hi All

My clutch master cylinder is empty of fluid and pedal flaps about......
It's done this for a while so I suspect a leak. I might as well replace both while I'm at it.

Am I correct in saying that the Landrover 90/110 bits are a good replacement?

Is it an easy fix for an amateur spanner monkey?
What about different size pipe fitting? Could I buy a made up flexi pipe to join the two?

Many thanks

Tim

Top RH margin, next to "My Stuff" & "What's New".

Enter "S Series clutch slave cyl" for example, and an amazing amount of wisdom will be revealed. This is a very common well-worn topic.
Yes, the Landie parts are the most common replacements, although it is said that some aftermarket slave cyls require a little bit of grinding to fit.
It's a good idea to change both master & slave and the pipe at the same time, then you won't have to faff about with different pipes in the future.

Yes, you can get a braided hose or pipe made up with the new end fittings. Prob the right-angled ended ones are neatest.
See previous threads.

Yes, it's quote* a straightforward job. The bleeding will need an assistant ( or a brake bleeding kit ).

Just don't drop any bits inside the bellhousing. yikes

HTH,
