I am going to replace my clutch slave soon and wanted to ask if anyone has bought any of the ones from the US on eBay.
They start at $20USD with approx $19USD shipping.
If anyone has a better/cheaper option please feel free to suggest.
I could set this up for a GB if anyone else is interested.

Cheaper than $20? LOL - geez you lot are cheapskates.
Even with shipping and exchange rates you're still looking at it being much less than half what local Mazda part is. How could you go wrong?

Jules only bought a replacement boot/seal kit, didn't you Jules?
Mr_Q: \"...how could you go wrong?\" famous last words
, that's why I'm asking around, as there is also the old saying \"you get what you pay for\"
Oh and as for us being cheapskates ... well we weren't until our median house prices, and therefore living expenses, crept closer to \"and de weener iz\" Syd-de-nee.
Ever since then a lot of us are tighter than a cane-toad's rectum.

Might also be worth checking prices through Repco and ABS 1red5. At least if there is a problem it can be returned - might be worth the extra $$ for that.

Roger that JBT, I'll be doing the rounds on the phone, and I'm sure I'll be saying \"HOW MUCH!!??\" on many an occassion.
had a mild stroke when supercheap and autobarn gave me prices for an exhaust manifold gasket, I think one time I said something like \"nah mate I just want one, not a box of 'em\" ... the guy didn't get it ...

I bought my clutch slave cylinder from mx5parts in the uk.
Arrived in 5 days, incl shipping was cheaper than buying from Mazda with trade disc.

Yep just a rebuild kit. The thing wasn't leaking at all, but I figured it I'm going to take it out and fit a speed bleeder, then I might as well rebuild it. $12.00 from Repco. They did say they had the complete unit though, so maybe give them a call for a price.
