Many thanks for your help people

Hi All
Now had time to re-assess what happened. We had a need to brake pretty hard with the van on the back causing rear wheel brake lock up. It cleared its self but the hand brake travel was reduced. Not sure this was a factor.
Had an email from the LR garage who did the repair work down...

Thanks everyone. I changed the shoes before I set off for France Used Delphi shoes. Good point about the fluid indicator. Will check that. I guess its a short across the terminals to operate the lamp. As far as the shoe retaining pin is concerned I remember there being only one fitted to each...

Hi All
I have had the same knock with my TD4 LRF. It turned out to be the front outer CV joints. Sound travels along the chassis.
Good luck

Hi All
Bit of a problem with my Td4 engine. Changed the injectors and when replacing the inlet manifold I lost one of the lower orange rubber sleeves that fix into the plastic inlet manifold. I fear its gone down the inlet flue. Had a look with an endoscope and can clearly see the valve head...

Removed my VCU from our FL 2003 TD4 (140K) for the summer. Now winter is approaching just tested it using the method from Bell Eng. Using a 750mm bar and about 7Kg load. Time taken to sweep 90 degrees was about 10 seconds. Not sure of the history but it cant be the original VCU.
Cheers
