right then, stopped the leaking air tank!! All good this morning on the run out to the school bus.
replaced the nrv's, new diaphragm, modified the eas delay timer, refaced the lower solenoid bobins/shuttles. Then after I got home.....low brake fluid warning! Jesus, let up for a while please. Leaking rear right brake line above the wheel arch!
is this going to be a real pain to change? Anyone done theirs recently and can offer any advice on the best way to approach this?:confused:
 
If you are talking about BRAKE HOSE ANR5916R (Jump Hose)? Then it's not too bad a job. I replaced all my hoses last summer however these are a tad fiddly. If I recall I removed the hose with the brackets attached as the clips holding them onto the brackets and the brackets were corroded and difficult to move in situ. Not sure if I removed the arch liner or not now for access however that only takes 5 minutes. All the other hoses to the calipers are not a problem.
Don't forget to depressurise the system first and read RAVE on how to do that and the brake bleeding procedure. If you don't follow RAVE the back brakes will not bleed correctly.

Its easiest to take the tank out to access the brake pipes but can be done with tank in a bit fiddley feeding the pipe over the tank.also i think if it is the later one there are 2 flexible hoses that will need replacing as well. The wheel arches need to be taken off to get acess to the pipes you can make up your own pipes with somthing like this

well, two new copper lines and all flexi hoses both sides at the rear later and after an epic system bleeding session and all is well in the world. Re did the compressor piston seal, orings and cylinder as well.
have you seen the price of a genuine land rover rear axle hose?? Over £100!!!
 
I think every reasonably sized town has a specialist who'll make up hydraulic hoses and fittings - I know we have and they're spot on - quick turnaround and sensible money - just take in whats left of the bits that have failed.
 
over here anything to do with hydraulic work is bloody expensive and a lot of it comes from Spain and Italy!! There was a small workshop about 20 mins from us but they closed after a year...:( it happens to a lot of businesses because of the way the tax is formulated...

There must be someone who makes up hoses for the local farmers' tractors?
If they have the crimper, they should be able to order the correct sized fittings and make up hoses for you.
The farmers won't be paying top dollar (or euro) that's for sure!
 
all done and installed, I went for rimmer bro's aftermarket specials. Not bad quality, I also used my old abs wire clips. The new ones weren't so clever!!!
grrrr, it was indeed sae approved brake line. Thank you;)
