JoanneBremner Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Hello! I have been to a garage this morning and told my clutch master cylinder needs replacing as there is oil leaking into the footwell on the drivers side. I have been quoted £180 and it’s booked in for next Monday. I have been looking around online at clutch master cylinders, and after putting in my reg plate it obviously comes up with lots of options - ranging from £20 up to £380!! Can anyone tell me, what are the down sides of buying a cheaper part? The most popular price range is £35-50, could I go with this? And get someone to fit it for me and pay for labour? Any advice would be appreciated - I am desperate to do this as cheaply as possible, but don’t want to compromise on safety. Many thanks, Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mberry77 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 £180 seems about right, probably a couple of hours labour and the cost of the part. A cheap part might be made in China and if it broke soon after you there would be not be the responsibility of who fitted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy woodbridge Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I agree the price is reasonable. Part say £40-£50, 2 hours labour at say £40-50 per hour then VAT on top. I would just go with it to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
