Hi Guys
To keep my 2010 Puma Defender company I've acquired a 1961 Rover P5 3 litre. It's in good old condition with all the original papers etc.
My problem is I need a new brake master cylinder. It keeps sticking when the pedal is fully depressed, and doesn't return. All the seals were recently replaced and all looks OK when stripped but it still sticks.
Does anyone know where I might get one in Aus, preferably Melbourne?
Or alternatively a UK supplier.
Cheers

If you are after parts, another supplier is Graeme at British Car Components in North Melbourne

sometimes it is not the master cyl but the rubber hose(s) collapsing
do all the wheel cyls bleed with a good flow of fluid?

Thanks for your help guys.
The main problem is that if I try to bleed with the engine not running, there appears to be nothing making the master cylinder piston return (despite the presence of the return spring).
As soon as I start the engine and the servo kicks in it works OK - most of the time.
The piston appears to be sticky, but seems OK stripped out on the bench.
I'll try the mob in North Melbourne.

I've got an engine out of a P5 Mk1 sitting in the shed.
Looking for a P5 Mk3 suffix "C" engine or even just the crank and con rods.
You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

Why?
Its not the purpose of the exercise, if I want performance I have both the 4.6 RRc and the SDV6 D4, I want the bits for a Series LR.
