Hello, it seems as though my R Reg Chimaera 450's clutch slave cylinder has died a death, resulting in no clutch at all (excellent fun!). So, I need a new one. Does anyone know what it is off, and most importantly, where to get one by Thursday? Nick is on the case with one of this mates and will fit it, we just need the part!

Thanks in advance,

Tony

You know why they call him Clever Trevor because he buys in cheap Ford,vauxhall,Saab etc parts for pea nuts and sells them to monkeys like us ..Do some research and you will save a fortune .laugh

Just looking on ebay as im renewing mine. They seem to be on there for £14. Just a bit of a gamble as to whether the thread for the pipe is the same.

Hello, I can't see an alternative part number for the slave cylinder on either of those links?

EDIT: Sorry, just spotted it! So it's a delphi part from a landrover?

Clutch slave Delphi Lockheed part LL13312 which is from a Landrover 109 defender V8 up to 1992. This has a 7/16" exit thread

Why the different bore size?. Im assuming its to give a lighter feel.

I know C-T isn't the cheapest but for me, one call and I get the right part next day!

Anyhoo, it keeps the guys in business that know about TVR's.

Neil from TVR Car Parts got one, even though he didn't have it in stock he still managed to source on in time and have it here the next day; top customer service.

Nick and his mate set about the slave whilst I was at work (the cheeky git then took it for a drive to 'make sure it was working'; luckily he is covered on his insurance!), and they did a top job, it changes slickly and smoothly now.

FTopic revival as I am servicing the griff and it looks like the clutch slave is on its way out. I can see tvr parts do one as Oem but that means Wednesday at the earliest. Do I have any other choice in where I might source one in the Midlands tomorrow? I can try the LR dealer first thing but I'm worried that I will have to mess about with pipe thread etc.

Has anyone fitted the Delphi LL13312 or Firstline FBA2115 successfully? Any other suggestions? I'm guessing a repair kit is no longer available.

Thanks
