Hi,

I am after some help working out what this slave sylinder is.

From the builder, the notes just say sd1 slave cylinder. (and also a rebuild kit was bought at build time) I bought a sd1 slave rebuild kit from rimmerbross before I removed the slave unit, but there is no circlip on mine to remove.. it looks like a sort of sealed unit.

On it is stamped:

GIRLING Q138 ( i think it is an 8)
and on the other side:
74660078 (the best I can guess i the 78 at the end)

google doesn't seem to be helping me, nor the usual places to buy.

I'm looking to replace it whilst I have the system in bits!

any help appreciated.

cheers

Chris

Overhaul kits fit a number of different cylinders.

Personally I would have gone straight for a new Landrover Defender cylinder which are cheap as chip from LR specialists.

Thanks for the pointers, really want to just replace it like for like, as i have read they all can have different bore, length and thread size for the bleed and in point.

Will give past parts a try tomorrow good idea. Cheers Chris

Are you local to me? I have a new unused one lying on my bench.

If the car was on the road i reckon i could say yes! But no not really. I'm down nr wimbledon sw london.

What are the numbers on the one you have if you don't mind telling me? Is it the same as i guessed for mine? If so where did you buy it from ?

Cheers

I suspect it was from eBay. Not much in the way of identifiers on it I'm afraid :-

thanks.. it certainly looks like mine - but who knows as the numbers are so different!

appreciate the time to take the pic.

my master cylinder is a ap racing one it turned out so it could fit in the space.

so really want to replace the slave like for like so the same effect is felt.
