That's a bit harsh or may be your reply looks a bit harsh in print.
Skipety appears to have done the right thing by having the car examined by a garage but are we all experts in hydraullics, particularly those hidden away with no visible sign of leaks?

Yeah a tad harsh or as you say maybe just looks harsh written down, I found out through experience, i.e paid for one to be done then the other went, and after googling found its common.

And yes the slave cylinder isnt visible so you cant really check. (well other than checking the clutch fluid reservoir under the bonnet, if the fluid level has dropped it has a leak somewhere!)

It'll be cheaper than a new master cylinder;)

depends on how much you value your ebay account(feedback)

If HE offered to do the deal outside ebay he is in breach of their T&Cs,
now if he is reguarly selling cars via ebay suggest to him that he pays part of the repair and you will not have to report him to ebay for breach of T&Cs resulting in his account being suspended

May not be a good idea to report him to Ebay as you both agreed to do the deal outside Ebay,so I would have thought both of you could have your accounts suspended.

Rover 75 slave cylinder is inside the gearbox housing, Master cylinder attatched to clutch pedal, sealed unit although they can be topped up with a syringe but not at all simple.

in future anyone who tells you they are into "free motoring" probably cuts corners on costs
