Clutch slave cylinder. Fix or replace.

Post by bradders89 »

My slave cylinder is leaking again (replaced about 3 years ago!) brickworks do one from around £20 to £70 or jk do a seal kit for less than a tenner. Is it worth gettin a new better quality and it lasting years or or just replace the seal?

I know Meyle are a reboxer but I find their stuff better than cheaper reboxers, they unbranded parts are not all the same.

Maybe they have a different 'JK' where bradders89 lives ? :rofl :rollin

Buy quality spare parts ... Brickwerks is best, some higher-priced GSF parts are fine too but not their budget range :?

Where does it say that?
There's only an OEM part number, the part isn't OEM
The brickwerks slave is OE and therefore a genuine part.
