Having left the car for a mere 4 weeks in the garage, I find the battery half dead, and clutch fluid dripping down the pedal!
Presumable I need to replace the master cylinder.
Does anyone know if there is a particular make of replacement I should get?, and/or
A reptuable supplier (reasonable) I should approach?,and
Any hints/tips, on doing the job?

Many thanks
(1998 450 Chimaera)

Not 100% but i think you can get a service kit for it.

Try doing a search in this Forum as I am sure its been talked about before.

This happened on my 1997 450 - you can get a seal kit but it's such a pain of a job, quite difficult for access and you've got to reseal the hatch afterwards etc etc.....you don't want to be doing this regularly, so I went for a new one - it wasn't much more expensive.

Clean your carpets too! You've seen what the fluid does to paint!

Just had my master clutch cylinder replaced.
£133 in VAT. Reasonable I thought and kept my hands clean.
