All sorted now. Took the adapter off and cleaned a bit of corrosion off the shaft. Put adapter back on nice and tight and all seems ok :D

Think this is it: I'll go and have another go at that screw on the side.

My Defender has just failed the MOT on the wipers. There is too much play in the mechanism so the arm is not covering enough of the windscreen (only the drivers side). Just had a look and the movement seems to be the adapter that the arm itself fits onto. There's what looks to be a grub screw...

Dealers should be able to find it out from the chassis number

Best to change them both at the same time, master and slave. Shouldn't cost much more than £20 for the 2. Just done mine in the 110

I had the same problem with my 110 and it turned out to be the U/J on the rear prop shaft. Snapped off altogether in the end

It's probably not something dealers will give out over the phone for security reasons. Check your manual and service record books as sometimes it's written in there.

All done. Bled the slave off the block with an eezibleed and adjusted the pedal to correct height. Mobile again! :D Cheers for the advice fellas!

Might try jacking the front up tomorrow so the bleed nipple is higher than the rest of the cylinder

Eezibleed works a treat. Just bled fluid and now have pressure on pedal. Pedal does seem to travel about an inch though before any pressure is felt. Could there still be an air lock in the system or is this an ajustment on the push rod?

Soon find out!

I'll soon find out, just bought one.:D

How do you do it without? Won't the cylinder suck up air if you don't do it that way?? Edit: sorry - just read previous post!! I'll have a look on ebay now. Cheers

Ok, had another go this afternoon. Adjusted the pedal pushrod so there is more travel in the piston, which now seems to have done the job (cheers CharlesY!). Fluid is now coming out of the bleed tube, just need to get a mate round or one of those bleed kits to bleed it properly now - ran out...

Using Halfords universal brake & clutch fluid. Pop bottle is less than half full and pipe is right at bottom. Cheers
