Servicing Magura Marta brakes

Hi.
I wonder if anyone can help here.
The piston on the master cylinder of the front brake lever began to stick so I thought I'd investigate further.
I removed the piston but then found it extremely difficult to replace due to the tapered / barbed nature of the rubber seal. Anyway I finally got it in but the seals are now leaking.
A job I really regret starting. I have since read these brakes are not serviceable.
It's cost me £80 to get a used set of brakes and get back riding again but I can't help thinking that someone could repair / service the damaged one and render it useful again.
The brake is a red 2007 magura marta.
Anyone help??

take it to any Magura dealer for servicing.
Or down load the service info http://www.magura.com/en/service/downloads.html and try again with new seals.

I think talking to a dealer is a sensible and obvious suggestion, the downloads contain no information on the seals that I need, indeed I wouldn't feel confident at fitting them even if I could get hold of them!
Perhaps I'll email them and see if they can sort things out.
