Gryff and i are loosing clutch fluid, so it seems we need to think about replacing our master and slave cylinders.
Ideally i would like to get the originals re-manufactured at Power Brakes SA as they bore OEM and fit stainless liners. Our biggest problem is that we cannot afford any downtime as our Landy is an everyday drive.
We were thinking of getting replacements (our original units are PBR), but looking at the net/suppliers there are loads of aftermarket replacements which vary in price considerably.
Not wanting to buy crap that will flog out in twelve months or so, can anyone recommend a good solution for purchased replacements.
Thanks

Simple Dean, Go to a clutch supplier and get PBR replacements or the next best quality. You know the old say about getting what you pay for. The other alternative is to buy some cheapies and then get your originals stainless sleeved and change them out when the cheapies stuff up. Make sure you get the proper slave for the Perentie, it is a bigger bore than other Defenders.

Oh and make sure you have the drain bung removed from the flywheel/clutch housing. (To drain the clutch fluid out when it leaks)

Hi guys,
thanks for the response.
I think we will go the really cheap replacements as an interim and get our local Power Brakes SA to stainless re-sleeve the original PBR units better than OEM.
Best of both worlds...originality and quality assured.
