Found the reason behind a leaky piston.

Anyone had luck with a replacement Shimano piston (I know these aren't supposed to be owner serviceable)?
I can only find metal or ABS replacement pistons on Alix rather than ceramic.

I bought mine in the uk while I was in Belgium so returning and warranty was a pita so I just bought a new one. AFAIK shimano knows there is a fault somewhere (I had the same shit as you) so should replace it under warranty.

Funny you say this, in the UK but bought abroad so couldn't warranty. Shimano/Madison really are a pain!

If you manage to find the spare I'm keen to buy and give it a go, feels like such a waste to throw it in the bin.
