I am currently trialling a serviced MPL clutch slave cylinder
two new seals have been fitted and silicone grease applied - it may stop the clutch fluid going black!
the company responsible is talking around £20 for this....
I will keep people posted

Bloody bargain, I think the seals alone cost me something like £17 plus post plus vat plus a morning spent piddling about cleanining, polishing manky old parts
The fluid turns black because of all the shonk that the fluid collects on its journeys back and forth from master to slave and back again
TOP TIP when the reseviour is empty pick up all the black crud in the bottom with cotton buds ect
Change the fluid every 12 months, brake fluidd absorbs atmospheric moisture (which alters its physical properties and stops it working properly )
Contaminated fliud is the BIGGEST killer of seals
The older the fluid the more contminated it becomes

I'm not so sure ..... a Canadian or Norwegian with a big club can also be pretty effective.

Did you ever get a code no. for the seals Pete?
For obvious reasons it would be nice if they were a standard seal that was easier to get hold of.
P.S. Don't get carried away with the silicone grease.

No mate
As I understand it there are two - and one is not so easy or common to find
