    No mate, Land Rovers right up to the end of original Defender have a transmission Hand brake on the back of the transfer box, and therefore acts on the prop shaft. Works fine as long as both rear wheels are on the ground or with series if it is...

    I disagree. You are having fun and learning great new things. A Toyota Yaris hybrid isn't nearly as much fun.

    That big hub nut is cheap and can be unscrewed by tapping round the edge with a screwdriver or chisel if you don’t have the box spanner

    Been blead of late so that is good. Try the release the pipe thing and if pedal goes down good. Next is to remove gear tunnel and have a look at what is going on with the slave cylinder. when you get that far come back.
