I use their EP90 and that’s fine

I just back off the locknuts push the rod towards MC then move nuts so it’s nipped without free play then back off the nut nearest MC 1.6mm by eye move rod back away from MC then nip far nut up , hopefully make sense looking at diagram. You should bleed the brakes with adjusters backed off I’ve...

That’s a shame, sometimes you just need to have a cup of tea and cool down , that’s all part of the learning process, did you get the required clearance in the master cylinder pushrod and brake adjusters not binding can’t think what else would lock the brakes

😨 15 year old battery is going some!, when you checked the earth straps does that mean you removed them wire brushed terminals clean including where they mount on chassis / engine and you have done same with positive connections , battery connections clean and tight?

Absolute Agony, hope you feel better soon, have to try and find some positives out of this at the end of the day it can be replaced you can’t. There may be more salvageable parts other than just the front end. House insurance might cover other bits in car Mig, nanocom, Henry etc. Plan for how...

I got an AIRTEX 6395G a few years ago £58 , did you check the pulley wheels are tight , and no side play 6 mile should be ok

That’s good progress did you get some air out, have you got 2 wheel cylinders at each front wheel , there is a few other things to try if brakes still not adequate

Give the pulleys a wiggle and check the small screws are tight

The manual is here and tells you how to bleed properly, what set up do you have , have you. Got the twin leading 11” drums on front http://smithies.co.nz/land_rover/ Clamping all three flexis is the place to start to find where the problem is , and go from there as in the manual Did the shoes...

Aren’t the two heavier brown cables connected at alternator and on same terminal on solenoid.

Charging circuit similar to this

Looks like your charge light lead is ok, think it does need that exciter voltage to get charging Can you crimp in those big connectors a bit to get a tighter fit on the spade terminals also do this on the small one to make sure . You will have checked the belt tension by now, giving about 3/4”...

I’ve seen on here this choice of supplier and they export https://www.maer.com.pl/land-rover-series-88-galvanised-chassis

Stag88 last seen in 22, when you flushed rad did water come out as quick as going in, if so unlikely blocked have you checked the thermostat is opening in hot water

And does the red light stay on when running , have you measured voltage on battery when engine running Have you got 12v on the thin lead when it’s disconnected from alternator , red bulb should come on when you earth the thin lead

Think my earth to engine goes via the battery box as in pic, I don’t think your proposal will have as good a connection due to paint will need to be removed from radiator and front panel where connections are and also where front panel mounts to chassis and these screws are only quite small...

I would add a second earth strap to the chassis from engine if not got one already as the engine and gearbox sits on rubber mounts

Looking at the manual, the trunnions and bushes are lubed with general purpose grease and the pedal,shaft that has the end plug in is removed and filled with sae 20 oil and reassembled
