Outer Limits 4x4 Board

The rangie's brake m/cylinder has sh@t itself and even after fitting new seals its still leaking, gonna bite the bullet and go new but they are a bit exxy at approx. $345. I can get one from the UK at about $140 + postage.
Anyone bought one locally for reasonable money ?

I bought one for my Rangie about 2 years ago and was $185 change over from range-rov in mitcham.

Have you tried British Motor Imports? We buy most of our Rangie gear from them. Generaly its cheaper than buying second hand.

is it similar to one off a 95 disco? if so $100 and its yours.

Resleeve for abpout $160.00

Thanks Tony, i sent of a request so i'll see what they come up with.
Andrew the m/c's changed after 85' so unfortunately it wont fit unless i use the booster as well and i dont really wont to go changing everything around.

i meant $100 including the booster and pedal if you want...

Are you able to provide any pics ?

Just got a reply from BMI, nearly fell off my chair - $380+ gst + postage, so they can go get a big black dog up them . I think i will be ordering one from the UK, only downside is i'm off the road till it arrives. Some of these prices are outragious, why is it i can get one from the UK including freight for half the cost of one locally new or reco ?

Not even Patricks or P&O charge that much storage at the wharf for a container. They would buy in bulk and wholesale so would get it even cheaoer than i can buy - that just dont cut it.

Mate,
Not as cheap as from UK but European Auto Imports in Box Hill sell them for $286 + GST and have them in stock, I bought not long ago.

My resleve cost around $220 from BHSS in brisbane, I would consider getting it fixed over buying a new one - at the rate people are charging for the new one you could get it resleved and hire a car while it was off the road and you would still be ahead

I know just trying to make you feel better.
I import my own parts when I can.

Also worth giving FWD Motors a call.

They are mainly a wholesaler (supply most of the LR and toyota parts places in OZ), but they also sell direct to the public.

Thanks Ben, filled out a request form so hopefully they wont be too much more than if i order one from Paddocks or the like.

You would probably get a better price if you phoned them. I found that wholesale price from them was about the same price as buying in the UK or cheaper.

Talk to the guys at hydraulic & general sleeving 9387 6345 in Hope st Brunswick west. Being and RR they might not have a change over unit.

heres pics

Well for $70 i getting the m/c re sleeved, none of the UK companies i emailed have replied after nearly 2 days and FWD said $385 !
Andrew thanks for the offer but it is much easier just to re sleeve the original.

are you getting it sleeved at brunswick? cause for that I will get mine done.. I got a s/h one the other day for 50 bucks but Ill get the original sleved and keep the sh for spare..Or see if they will do a better price for 2.....lol worth a go..

Mark

I think its better brakes in Mitcham, my old works near by so he got a price - it may be trade.

Recoed m/cylinder just before re fitting, it must be good coz its noice and shoiny
