Yes. Just be sure that 900mm is enough ! I ended up going with a 1400 mm section & was glad I did when we cut off the rusty section which was remarkably dire even around the damper mountings which you'd imagine were a "high point" on the chassis...

I'm also against bastardising vehicles by removing factory fitted systems so if we go back to where this thread started First of all it would be good to explain how the ABS was "disabled" as it's disabled by default by the ECU when a system...

Hi, to check servo - with engine off, pump brake pedal until it goes hard. Keep foot on pedal and start engine and you should feel the pedal sink under servo assistance. HTH, Griff

No servo assistance?

The answer is sort of.... Yes you can do a very simple lift. But the question to ask is why? What do you intend to use the vehicle for? Poor lifts generally reduce on road performance and also reduce off road capability causing the vehicle to be...

I got a second hand spare top hose outlet & just drilled and tapped into the side of the flange to allow a sensor to be fitted. Same end result as the Gore item, but a lot cheaper

No link to the item you bought. You can buy a top hose outlet with an extra hole for an additional sensor.

A lot depends on you, if you have the money and if it all goes bang losing it is not going to f##k up you life too much then enjoy, if you have to borrow the money to buy it and all goes wrong then you have to borrow more to fix it or replace it...

Next stop is losing all gears and leaving you stuck somewhere. Leave it a bit longer for the full experience 🤣

It's the nylon Bush in the selector as described here in Ascroft transmission FAQs: https://ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/product/r380/ Part no. FTC2203 Watch here:

Does it feel as if it's the gear lever that's stiff? If so it might be the bush. https://new.lrcat.com/#!/1232/38569/38570/2971 Griff

1 piston is siezed solid, G-clamp won't even move it a mm. Britpart ones ordered and new good pads, of course the axle seal has decided its time for it to start leaking just to give me something else to do.

The cheap britpart calipers are pretty good, rears on my d3 coming up for 9 years, defender does about 5 years, but that is because it stands for months at a time.

The smaller pistons improve the braking balance between front & rear & reduce brake pedal travel a minor amount.
