Hi all,

I have read this before but as usual the search is down so I can't find it. I wanted to buy a master and slave cylinder for the S as there is a leak somewhere so thought I'd just replace the lot.

I wanted to check the part numbers of the Land Rover cylinders that fit. I think they are;

Slave: 591231
Master: 550732

Can someone confirm whether or not these will fit. They look right but that never means it will actually fit!

I was intending on going down my local garage and see if they could make a flexible hose to link the two as I seem to remember its not an off the shelf pipe to connect them.

Thanks in advance,

Tom
If those are the correct part numbers then see here

Pattern Master

OEM Master

Pattern Slave

OEM Slave

I have no connection with this supplier, they are just pretty cheap.

If you are doing any foreign trips probably worth at least one member having a pattern master and slave just incase.

Hi Chris & Tom,
I thought this is worth a bump to help Elvis, and also with Euro Tour 2013 not that far off...:.....driving

I think I get the idea now. The way I understand it, the early Morris Marina/Triumph master cylinders should go straight on where as the Defender ones are also correct but have a different thread size and therefore require either an adaptor or pipe end end change. I want to be perfectly clear before I start this job, but I think I'm getting there.

That's certainly correct for the Land Rover parts. The benefit of them is that they're cheap and readily available (eBay and a bunch of specialist dealers) but the drawback is the requirement for a union change. When replacing my broken original clutch master and slave in 2011 I went for Land Rover replacements and had Pirtek make me up a braided hydraulic cable of the required length to connect the two. The solution is neat and reassuringly new! If you are simply in the market for either one or the other of the master or slave then it would almost certainly be cheaper to replace just that part with an 'original' - it's lasted over 20 years already so can't be bad can it?

I found bleeding the system a bloody nightmare btw. Many hand make light work and those one-man bleeders are bleeding useless IMHO!

I replaced both units on my own last year, not too bad a job (with the help of you guys). The only problem was getting one of the bolts out on the hanger as you can't get a spanner properly on it. (well I couldn't anyway!). bleeding was easy using a halfords £10 easy bleed type thing. One bit of advice i'd give, get yourself a 1/2 inch flare nut spanner for the slave as the nut is like butter and you don't want to round it off. I also replaced the hanger bolts with cap end bolts, will make life far easier next time! (again, one of you guys suggested it)

I thought it better to remove this post of mine as it could be confusing in the light of newer information on clutch pipe size and unions.

As I recall the slave can be a landrover part but the master is off a marina.

I changed both mine last year but the slave needs a little bit grinding of the flange to get it sitting properly.

TRW do the slave at a very reasonable price but can't recall if they do master ones. The master I got was about £30 and as I changed to a braided flexi-pipe, I had it made to the connector and can't remember if it differed from the original. The braided pipe cost more than the master and slave cost in total!!

There's loads of threads on this topic.

Cheers,

Max
