its is knackered, is letting air in have tested everything else and have come up with the rubber seal in the piston head is not sealing right,

As Choderboy says, these things can be reconditioned. Honing is one option if the bore is not excesively pitted. If it is, it can be resleeved with a stainless steel tube or brass one followed by new rubber.This usually makes them good for life.

The same principle applies to brake master cylinders and even calipers. In the case of calipers, it is usual for the pistons to be sleeved unless the cylinder seal wells are corroded in which case it's bin job unless you got money to burn.
