Looking at replacing the Clutch master cylinder and slave.

Roughly for the two, a quick search shows a £50 pounds difference between ECP (no discount just looked on their website, so possibly £60 difference) and BMW.

Have people used Pagid clutch master cylinders and slaves? Are they good compared to BMW's? Or should I just pay the extra..?

I have sold a few in the last year, no-ones come back with any problems so far. I will be replacing mine with Pagid over the winter too. :D

Cheers for the info Meatballs..

I'm still not sure, sort of like the idea of sticking with OEM. But shall be sure to give you a shout for parts should I not. :thumb:

I've only ever fitted genuine cylinders as the ones bought from Euro's haven't lasted very long.
