75 slave cylinder
Which ones of the slave cylinders availabe have plastic pipes? Do the plastic pipes have any real reducing effect on conducting engine vibrations to the body?

I don't think any have a plastic pipe now. I recently fitted a Delphi which is identical to the original part (it is even marked with AP) but even this now has a copper pipe.

According to the previous owner my clutch is only one year old but now I have to replace it because of quite loud release bearing noise always when the pedal is pressed. The sound seems to come from a dry bearing so is this common with these Rover slaves? In my experience these bearings should generally last longer than the clutch itself.

My thrust bearing only lasted about 4 years/35000 miles since it was replaced in 2014. I’m getting on a bit now, and drive slowly, gentle gear changes, don’t drive with my foot on the clutch etc. Just had it replaced again – done by somebody who knows what he’s doing this time, but whether that makes a difference I don’t know, as the parts may just be a shayte design…?

From what I've learned about the previous garage since, the last one was probably made of cornflakes packets and duct tape.
