Hi guys, I'm trying to get an 81 2 door up and running and the clutch isn't working. Found it to be leaking fluid from the clutch cylinder down the pedal. I looked on eBay for one and there are quite a few, not being an expert on the old 2 door I'm a little stuck. The one that was on it has the reservoir bottle built into it and looks original but when I looked at some the ones for that year don't have the bottle and later ones do. Do I just buy a newer up to date one with the bottle that looks similar and if you don't have the bottle where do you put the fluid?

Shouldn't be any without a tank. Choose from these subject to year VIN etc. Or a much cheaper repair kit. http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID009211

Thanks for that, on that link though in the main picture there is the black one without a bottle also? The repair kit, is that normally a good fix?

The black cylinder is a slave cylinder not a master cylinder. If the bore is ok yes a seal kit would fix it.
 
Isn't the fluid resevoir transferable? When I changed the m/cylinder on my Clio I had to put the old resevoir on, cannot remember if it's the same with the old R/R's. Been years since I had a two door

Nothing like that listed by Land rover Alan, but after market ones maybe have never seen one though. Everything genuine on Rimmers site included reservoir.
 
Morning, hope you slept well after being up so late guys :D

I have just realised I have a 91 3.9 Manual RRC in the yard, forgot it was a manual model.......doh! Will the master fit from that on the 2 door, looks the same?

Should do i would think. Although a new seal kit would maybe be a good move whilst you have it off. But then again that would possibly sort your other one as well.
