Metal slave for me every time!
Furthermore, to the best of my knowledge, Xpart and consequently Rimmers, adopted the Tazu Metal slave as their genuine MG Rover part, which you linked to earlier.

The MGR OEM slave was an AEP item with plastic pipes. Later, the Luk became the sandard for our cars. It has a similar body to the OEM item and has metal pipework. The item to which you have linked is neither of the above. It appears to be the Tazu part sold under the MGR name by X-Part. This is indicated by the description which states that it comes unfilled. As far as I am aware, only the Tazu M/C and S/C are delivered unfilled. Luk are prefilled. In general, care is needed now as parts sold as "Genuine MGR" are not MGR OEM but those selected to be sold under the MGR name by current the owners/licensees of the name. So, technically and pedantically, they are not "Genuine MGR" parts but parts sold under the "Genuine MGR name". Last edited by MSS; 15th October 2016 at 08:31.. |

The Taziu slave cylinder wasn't designed as a cheap copy of a quality product, but to improve on a cheaply manufactured OEM part that generally doesn't last anywhere near as long as it should. |

No worries - just the way I read it then.
I do believe that the Tazu slave is a genuine attempt at providing a more long lasting part though, and I hope it is - only a question of time before I'll be changing slave cylinders again. At least I've got a good as new DMF from the scrapper to go in. My original was nearing the wear limits last time round. . Last edited by Mike Noc; 19th October 2016 at 22:23.. |

As far as I understand, the best option would be the Tazu metal?? I can get that one directly from Tazu for £67 + shipping while the MGR item costs me £65 from Rimmers. I have to order a few other items from Rimmers anyway, so it would be easiest to get the whole lot from one dealer to keep the shipping cost + import charges down.

If you want LUK with metal pipes, order the Freelander TD4 slave. Plastic was 75/ZT.
Now couple of thousand km with tazu metal slave (and metal master MK1 over 6000km) and all is fine. Nice clutch action. Hope it will last, if not, the future slave will be a LUK with metal pipes.... Rob

I am driving now 71.000 km with a Tazu metal master MK1 and its feeling very good.
