TheBeastie Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I have no idea how long you would expect a clutch master cylinder to last but mine has started weeping a bit (fluid under clutch pedal in the morning) just over two years after I replaced it last. Checking back my records I got a Lucas cylinder from Paddocks costing £19.40. The same is still available (same price!) but if I look on LR Series they have genuine at £74.54 or replacement at £14.99 so what is a poor boy to make of all that??? If two years is average then I think the Lucas would be a better option than the replacement one which is probably Britpart but wonder if anyone has recommendations. I do however, now know to replace the slave cylinder at the same time so must be making some progress :-) Thanks and best wishes Malcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 IIRC mine was a genuine LucasGirling cylinder, been fitted for ages & recently [at last clutch change] resealed it with LG seal kit, did the slave to & all good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outdoor Ed Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 recently bought a replacement CMC from Mailorder4x4 for £30 tis a Lockheed part, which is the same as the original one I took off. so I guess Lockheed is an OEM one.

TheBeastie Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Thanks for the comments guys. I guess I should stick with a new Lucas master and slave cylinder. Perhaps I was unlucky or perhaps I needed to be more careful - possibly some dirt got in and damaged the seals? They are both shown as TRW Lucas parts with the slave being given as 591231G and the master as 550732G. Hopefully this will sort things out.
