Subject: Re: '84 900 GLs clutch problem


Thanks to all who've helped so far. One further query - I've spoken to a local SAAB specialist for details about master cylinder replacement. He's given me a price for replacement with a new master cylinder and a price for replacement with a second hand master cylinder. The difference between the two is about UKP35. How risky is it to use a second hand master cylinder? Is it a serious false economy? I assume these things have limited lives...
