LUK slave is what I would use, if money is tight, Sunter and Morris Ltd at Murton are Freelander specialists and have Freelander LUK slave cylinders for just under £60

Now the Freelander pipework requires a bit of adjustment to allow for fitting to the 75, but there is always the option of simply fitting the pipework from the slave cylinder you remove.

I performed a post mortem on a Tazu metal slave cylinder, and there was signs of transfer of the seal to the cylinder walls, and the the actual thrust bearing was almost devoid of grease.

This could have been down to the fact it had been incorrectly installed, or a defect in manufacture, but either way I'd rather not take the chance if I'm honest.
