Ho, yup, clamped the single rear flexi, then Passenger, then driver, it made no difference, the pedal still gives, so right enough, it must be the master cylinder. Is there a picture guide out there for changing the master? Thanks for the help! Cheers K

Hey, bled it again a couple of times tonight, then did it with flexi's clamped and no air came out, so it looks like the master cyl right enough. Is it pretty straight forward to do the seals? thanks for the help!

Hi folks, having replaced all the brake components (all disks, calipers, pipes, flexi's etc.), and bleeding the brakes numerous times with a self-bleed kit, I'm gutted to find that the brakes are completely pumped (as in buggered...). The pedal hits the floor when I try the brakes with the...

This confused me quite a bit. I've got a 300tdi and I get told to "change it empty, pump the fuel in through manually" and then older more bitter people tell me to "stop being a nonce, fill the new filter full of diesel and screw it back on, job done" Which way is best then?!

Genius! I tried to do it last week with clamps and I almost lost my fingers. I'll order up the nuts n bolts etc. and have a bash next weekend. Thanks very much. K

Howdy! about to replace all the spings in my defender, however, the spring clamps I have are dreadful, and the last time I tried it I almost lose some fingers.. What are the best clamps for doing this job? Is there a step by step guide anywhere? Cheers Ken

If anyone else has a pair, I'm looking too! cheers ken

Thanks for the site info folk! SLob - I broke the bolts that fasten the brake disk onto the hub. They go from the top surface of the brake disk on to the rear of the hub via 5 collared bolts.

Hello (again....) So, previously owner of my Def 110 (my sister, soon to be disowned), took her landy to some halfwit that changed the rear disks and used an airgun. Despite heating up the bolts with my welding gear, and using a medium sized bar to take them off, I broke every fekin bolt. I...

Ok, will close my eyes and think of my favorite sheep! thanks again! K

thought I had tried it, but will try again in the morning. If that doesn't work, do I take the diff cover off and try and re-insert it that way? Thanks for the help. K

Hi folks, trials with my landy go on. Was changing the rear disk, got everything off back to the mudshield, was starting to wire brush and generally clean stuff before reassembly and I caught the drive shaft, which moved forward with a clonk, and now wont go back in again. Its sitting about 3"...

Hi Ben, interested in the results here, I've got to do my tub caps and need to take the roof off also. Like you, the sunroof leaks like a barsteward, I'm told a replacement sunroof kit sort all that out though if you put enough silicon sealer in! cheers K

Hi folks, am about to replace calipers/brakes/flexi pipes et al on the rear of my landy. Having just looked at it today, the rear spring seems very close to the heavily corroded caliper bolt, am I going to have to take the spring out to get this off, or is there enough room for some serious...

Ahh, fluid & bleeding was the first things to be done before throwing money at it. Local garage man assured me Master cylinder was ok. Will check the bearings tho, I thought they felt ok, but I know a man who'll be able to tell me for definite.

Mine is a 300tdi 110, disks all round. Its diabolical. I may as well be rubbing chickens against the disks instead of break pads. Am doing disks, flexis/calipers all round to see if that makes a difference. Checked out the Master cylinder it seems ok. I have to pump (the brakes...) twice before...

Hey, Have changed the brake fluid, serviced the brake calipers, replaced the flexi pipes, disks are ok, new pads all round. You have to pump the pedal to get the brakes to work, but I'm not losing any fluid so I'm assuming that the master cylinder is ok, can't see any leaks etc. Any ideas...

Hey, there's a picture by picture break down of disk removal /replacement article in LRM, showing the order of the bearings and washers etc. in this months edition If that helps. cheers K

£800 for an M reg 110 CSW 300tdi - 132k on the clock and humped, completely. Sometimes I wish I'd spent more and have less work to do!

Hi, I've got the vented disks already, but didn't want to get the chisel out and mash the nut. Thanks for all the posts, got it at difflock for £8. cheers Ken
