hi has anybody had problems with trw clutch master cylinders I have had to that both started leaking about 3 weeks after fitting them on inspection the push rod ball end was shedding its crome? coating and the bits were being picked up by piston and ended up scoring bore of cylinder?
Never had any problem with them in the past.
TRW were/are OEM.
