I need a brake master cylinder for my dti estate 2002, does anybody have one available?
Also needed are front discs & pads, seen them on ebay obvs but would prefer to buy here if anyone has any?

Thanx

I'm assuming it needs new seals on the piston, try these people

Thanks for the replies. I hadn't thought of that

Discs and pads are still readily available at your nearest motor factor, and aren't worth spending any time sourcing any other way.




Master cylinders are still available new but the price might not be acceptable, especially when seal kits are about £30. I wouldn't use a second hand master cylinder without fitting new seals, so the only reason to acquire one would be to have a known good unit ready to fit before starting the job. I would suggest that the MC off a car that has been in recent, frequent use is unlikely to need more than seals. It's the ones that have had little use for long periods that are leaking brake fluid which looks like oxtail soup that are instant scrap.
