    R11 Master Cylinder - same as GT Turbo?

    First post!

    Can anyone answer if the R11T master cylinder the same as a GT Turbo? Got a feeling it isn't but I haven't got a 5 here to compare against..

    I hae R11T cylinder new in the box (77 01 349 254), genuine part & new in the box.

    If it doesn't fit a 5 I won't be needing it so if an 11 owner would like it just drop me a PM, yours for the postage..

    it makes a funny noise that starts and stops as it pleases weather braking on not , dose it when idleing along and when slowing down. dosent do it when the revs are up or accelerating.

    funny noise ???
    ermmm i will be honest with you mate ,i sold my very last working crystal ball
    on ebay the other week so you really need to be a bit more specific .

    where exactly is the noise coming from ? is it rubbing ,clunking ,metal to metal
    contact etc ??
    you say it does it when idleing , why not open the bonnet and have a look
    to see where its coming from
    oh and what car is it ??
