MG MGF Technical - Brake Fluid Expansion tank / Master brake cylinder

Hi,

got a call from someone in AT due to needs for a brake fluid expansion tank. (Accident related damage)

Can someone point me on how to get the plastic tank off from the brake master cylinder without damages ? and how much is the part including cap.

On the other hand I'd be interested to know about part number and price for the whole assy as shown above.

Thanks
Dieter

Dieter from memory if its like any other master cylinder tank its a simple push fit. It will be very tight but a little "gentle" persuasion will free it.

Dave, many thanks for the hint. The tank connections rest in rubber sills. I just pulled like mad and got it off.

:o)
Cheers
Dieter
PS pic to follow as usual ;)

Don't know - say about 5 quid? Or a couple of jars of your favourite tipple?

Thank you. New tank including cap is 35 EURO said his dealer. Voluntarily he payed 30 EURO including shipment. *On the way to Austria already*

Anyone asking for a perfect spare master brake cylinder now ?
