Hello Chaps

My clutch fluid seems to have drained away over winter. I have topped up the reservoir but it seems i may need to either renew the seals or replace the whole slave cylinder. Does anyone know the make and part numbers of the cylinder or seal kit.

Any help appreciated...

Paul

Some useful info in here, I used the landrover one but had to get a new pipe made up with the correct fittings.

When you fit the new one make sure the bleed nipple is in the highest union to make bleeding the bleeding thing easier.

Copied this from one of my old threads if it's any help - same connector as the one I took off.

Might be worth mentioning it wasn't a straight fit and a course file or angle grinder will come in handy to take off the ridge that stops the slave seating properly.

One edge just seem to foul/catch on the housing/bracket so we had to (ahem) "adjust" it a little by grinding a couple of mm off. It might be just one of those TVR features and not affect all S's.

I was also "talked" in to swapping the pipework to a nice shiny braided hose as someone had a pipe failure in the clutch department (as I changed the master cylinder too, it kind of made sense).

When i get home I can dig out the details if you want to order one too (bespoke manufacture).

Let me know.
