Just tried a bleed couldn't get the lever to go firm and eventually realised fluid is leaking from underneath the lever blade, so it looks like a seals gone. Are these rebuild able or is it a whole new lever?

Anyone? From Google it looks like it is new lever time. Next problem is finding an older Xtr lever in stock (with the Orange reservoir cover) or, how different is the new Xtr lever to the older one? Will my ocd allow mismatched levers?

XTR should have a 3 year warranty. I'd sure try that route.

Just outside unfortunately. I've gone for a replacement XT. I just hope I can live with the mismatch!

Nearly did only £50, but Bloody ispec would have meant new shifter as well

You can get them with clamps? M9000 levers are definitely compatible.

Shifters are I spec B - which I didn't think would fit the new 9000 lever? It said ispec II in the description.

your right i dont think ispecb shifter fit on m9000 ispec2, im avoiding all this ispec stuff for this reason, when tech changes you have to buy new brakes and shifters to keep compatible, good old shimano.
