That is heavy! Still, at least it's done. My Mazda Dealer actually used an OEM part rather than Mazda however they only charged a small mark up.

Agreed! I wonder if the part actually needed changing or whether the clutch just needed bleeding/new seals fitted to the cylinder??

Never mind, gotta look after the P&J!

Isn't that an oxymoron? How can they be good guys if they are screwing you over?

I had my slave cyclinder replaced a few months back. Within two weeks the master cyclinder also let go.
(I think it was that way round....)

When the second part went there was a puddle of clutch fluid in the drivers footwell.
Just mentioing it so that you know what to look for if you get a funnny smell in the cabin!
