X-eng High Performance Off-Road Engineering

yer... save you the hassle of removing the drum and cleaning the brake and re lubing the pistons on the actuators each time is seizes. i will be getting one in due course

had one sat in my shed for a while for when i change my tranny box, which is away at the reconditioners at the moment, soon as its fitted ill let you know what i think, looks like a quality bit of kit!!!
cheers

they look to be "fit and forget" parts. Ive been informed that the units produced by scrap iron are made of toffee. how true i dont know, but speak to Simon at X eng and get the original from him.

i need to do something as my handbrake is ****.....it looks like a bit more reliable too....

I 2nd what griff ses Scrapiron are well known for nicking everyone elses ideas and designs and then making a **** job of copying them using crap inferior parts and charging the fooking earth for them. Companies like these should be avoided like the plague!!

I avn't had any trouble with the standard set up since I replaced the rubber seal thing, greased the bits wot needed greasing, an cleaned the ****e out of the bits that needed the ****e cleaning out of em.

That sounds as though you could have lifted that comment from a shirt lifters forum

are they good? - yes.
are they worth £200 - no.

Never had any problems with the standard one. Even if it needed completely replacing it wouldn't be anywhere near 200 quid.

Si is quite active on that lr4x4 forum and offers a discount to members if you buy items off his site via the special link

tis a lorra money to replace something that works very well if it's adjusted correctly

Ive got an X-Eng. Its the fookin bollox!!

I had no end of trouble with my drum brake. Yeah they work when they aint full of ****. But I cant be fooked to strip it down and service the fooker everytime I go mud pluggin!

With the x-eng you just jet it off and its good as new! Even when it is covered in **** it still works far better than my drum brake ever did!

As for £200... Im pretty sure I only paid around £150 for mine!!

Its a landy, the handbrake int sposed ter work very well anyway

Hmmm new acutators are only £18.00 need a lot of them to make ya £200 back

as stated they aint quite 200 nicker.

my time is worth that money so id rather not be stripping down the piece of ****e original set-up. as soon as mine starts playing up its gone.

Here Here!!

I got mine for just over £150 I think. My mate ordered 2 - one for me and one for him and we got a good discount!

when i do the scorpion event next year i want to be able to rely on the handbrake.......

theys very easy to fit , and work just as they should .... replaced my original one with an xbrake cos mine kept stickin ... i had a bit of trouble with the cable rubbin but it was no big deal to sort ..... well worth it in my opinion....
