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'd buy this

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

I bough it from a auto factors. Obviously was a cheap part. Probably easier just to replace.

Really ?

You've either not bought much or been incredibly lucky

It's usually really dire.

Maybe they have a different 'JK' where bradders89 lives ?
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.
