RE: master brake cylinder
myself I've never done it other than flush and renew the fluid. I bet there's a lot of disassembly but it can be done. You can get a good used assembly from Motorcars Ltd.

I would have the Factory Service Manual too. ( http://www.lbcarco.com )

RE: master brake cylinder
Just did my 85 XJ-6 a few weeks ago. Replaced with a rebuilt unit, so I didn't go inside the unit. I've done this before on other cars, and was surprised at how easy it was. The new one came with a little round, thick gasket with no explaination. I soon found out that it was used to seal the reservoir to the brake cylinder. Took, maybe an hour, start to finish. You doYn't even have to be very handy to preform this repair. The hardest part of the whole repair is bleeding the brake lines, but, then again, thats just time consuming, not hard. Get your hands dirty, just part of the learning process on these cars. Regards. Keith

RE: master brake cylinder
I bought it off ebay, quite some time ago, just in case. Turned out to be a good one, but have since decided to confine my parts to parts suppliers. Most of my parts come from Coventry West. Good prices, and very knowledgable on the older cars. Their are hundreds of parts houses on the internet, and easy to compare prices. I like Coventry because thats all ( I think) that they do, is Jaguars. Their parts catalog online seems a little hard to use, but a simple call to them, and they are most helpful.
