1300 clutch/slave

[tara521g]

Hi,
can anyone tell me if the 1300 marina slave clyinder is the same as the 1275 mg midget one?
also does anyone have a slave cylinder that might work on my car that they might sell?
also what fluid should I use? is it Dot 4 brake fluid?
sorry to be a pain
cheers
JB

No its not the same as midget,try your local motor factor for either complete unit or you can get repair kit [new seals] if cylinder bore is ok .Correct on the fluid.JOIN THE CLUB!!!

Re: 1300 clutch/slave

Its proving hard to find a slave cylinder. It appears that the cylinder was exclusive to this model and BL did'nt use it on any other model, is this the case?
Its interesting.
I've discovered that a new slave sylinder could cost me ?70! is this about right?

Re: 1300 clutch/slave

Is your's beyond fitting new seals? as that usually works in my experience. Yes It was only fitted to Marina /Ital.Try PASTPARTS on the web or a firm called J.E.M in Leicester on 01455 230626. Can't comment on the price you have been quoted, the last time I purchased a repair kit it was about ?8.Ap Lockeed used to manufacture the cylinder[they now go under the name of Delphi Lockheed or something similair, if all else fails you could try contacting them. Also Lee Hunter is breaking a car so he might be able to help,this is where being in the club is a big bonus! Have you tried Partco in Derby .You can contact me on Derby 753000 for Lee's e mail address

Re: 1300 clutch/slave

I tried all of those contacts with some success, altho I might try that second hand one perhaps, as it might be a quicker option, will ring you
Thanks again

Re: 1300 clutch/slave

Jon
Have you taken the cylinder off the car?
Was the car off the road for the winter?
You say the cylinder is seized solid-can you push the rod back into the cylinder at all? Please give me a ring since if the answer to the last question is yes then the problem may be elsewhere
