Hi all, 2 hrs after replacing exhaust manifold studs ,cutting out the webbing and getting the warp out ,guess what?
Master cylinder leak[though it was a leak as it was raining]...my question being ,if it’s not a knock of cylinder should I just replace the seals..it’s not a flood of fluid, just enough to need to fix it. Or get a new one?...money is an object but not that much of one...what’s the consensus?
Also what’s the thoughts on the generic cylinders? Or generic and a seal kit for the price of a genuine one
Regards mark

Ps series on bake booster today to..must be brake fluid n bleeding week

Want an upgrade? Go for the LOF unit.

I for one would love to hear from anyone that has fitted a LOF slave cylinder. I've had enough of the heavy clutch on my 2006 deefer and the LOF slave cylinder sounds like a cheap solution.
