Hi all - my mechanic is fighting the sagging clutch on my 156 and reckons the master cylinder is the next culprit to eliminate. I have one in my shopping basket at AlfaWorkshop in the UK but I wondered if anyone has a lead on something more local / cheaper / quicker to post.

(apparently they differ LHD vs RHD as well as engine type and model year)
Hi
If it is the Clutch master cylinder find attached e-bay link to AUS supplier.

Thanks bonno - that looks like it might be the RHD one, they have a longer pedal linkage I think?
The one from the UK:

The one on eBay looks longer:

This is the correct one for Australian RHD cars. Available from Sydney -

Thank you - ordered. I'll report back if there are any issues.
I've bought from Guy, it was exactly as described in both goods and delivery.
Installed, bled, working beautifully thanks everyone. What a relief to drive.
Did we have fun getting the clip on & off. ;)
My mechanic Steve rolled his eyes when I asked if it installed OK.
Really? Just rolled his eyes? No uttering of profanity or expletives? ;D
