Will a £10 Land Rover one fit (e.g., eBay 150178159072) or do I need a £40 TVR one?

At this point, any tips on replacing one would not go amiss.

it'll probably fit but chances are the female hole in the new cyl will be different to the old TVR one. You can get round this by taking off the section of pipe from the bulkhead union up on the side of the footwell above your left shin (this is inside the car) to the cylindr and taking it and the new cyl to your local friendly hydraulics place to reflare the pipe with a new fitting.You will need to straighten out the pipe at the cyl end so you can get it off the car, as it runs over the top of the pedal box.

Good luck.

LOL

I just thought it may be another Rover part which has been given a TVR part number and its price multiplied by 4.

I know what you mean !! I looked into it and people offered to 'match it up' if I sent the old one, etc, etc, but its not worth bothering with really. I bought a repair kit first then people told me not to bother as the cylinder might be worn as well ,etc,etc, so I just thought 'sod it' and bought a new one !!
