The pictures are I think generic just some clutch plates but I guess will contain the std 75/ZT slave.
Get the Freelander slave much better apparently

Will be a B & B copy of the original I guess, with same problems

Still say get the Freelander

Possibly ,may order it and see what it looks like on arrival might be worth a bash

Guys Rover didnt make slave cylinders or clutches,like all other vehicle manufactures they are sourced from companies who make them.Borg and Begg are a very well known manufacturer of such parts and in the past they have been OE suppliers to a number of vehicle builders.

Thomas · 31st March 2010, 20:51

yeah I know Rover didnt make them have seen enough of them when serving my time lol however like you said Borg and Beck are a good company which is making me think its worth a punt...........two year unlimited mileage warranty too.

I would have no hesitation in fitting genuine Borg and Beck and a 2 year unlimited mileage warranty is good.Also gives peace of mind.
