Spotter Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I've just got round to fitting a pattern part dual line brake master cylinder (part no 569671) bought from Paddocks in July only to find it leaking badly. I just spoke to Paddock & they said there is a known problem with this part. They obviously don't feel it warrants a recall or even any action to warn customers of the problem so I thought I should post this in case anyone else has bought one of these recently. Obviously my experience is only with the part bought from Paddock, but there is a chance that other dealers might be selling these parts from the same source.

Les Henson Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 (edited) Well the 12-month guarantee should still apply. I doubt very much that a leaking brand new master cylinder is a common fault. they could perhaps also say that crashing because of it is also ok. www.consumerdirect.gov.uk Les.

minivin Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Would that be the metric or the imperial threaded item (cotter pin or screw retention of the reservoir)? Can't find my receipt at this moment in time :thinking: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
