This is for a MY95 Disco1 V8.

I have a service kit STC1126 but it has nothing in it to seal this part. I bought this years ago just in case when I did the brake master cylinder.

Mine is weeping in that location and I don't want to pull it out until I know I can do something about it and have the parts on hand.

Thanks

I know Power Brakes in SA have reservoir seals for the D1 brake master , probably they would have the reservoir seal for the clutch. They are very good.

power brakes

Thanks I'll try them on Monday.

The kit I got from Paddocks for the brake master cylinder had the reservoir rubbers in it.

can you just buy that seal on its own mine started leaking last week too i just pulled the reservoir off and found out it got a hole in the bottom of the back seal

If you mean the rear master cylinder rear reservoir seal, yes. I keep one on hand now just in case. They can fail by just pushing gently on the reservoir when you take the cap off. About $15 each the last time I bought one.

Great Ive had to patch mine with silicone this weekend (recommended by the local brake joint) until I can get one no one stocks them here just emailed Untitled Document in S.A
