when the slave went on mine it was the same as you describe, got it into third and managed to drive it short dist home as it turned over and pulled off! it could just be the cylinder, can you ask him to fill the reservoir and see if it goes down? might show if there is a leak?

most motor factor places will do the copper pipe, mine had a range of imperial fittings too when i had to do a series3 brake cylinder. Can't comment on what type of pipe though!

smaller motor factor places seem to be a good bet, there are a few that stock it around the midlands and have seen in in halfrauds as well! but only seem to do 1l bottles.

wicked ta! as i said its not for me so i'll get back to you as soon as spoken to him! just hope the nuts come undone!:eek:

cheers, take it it's a new diff job then? would it be pushing it to drive it about a mile? or could the rear prop be removed and it driven in 4wd slowly? he'll need to get it to a garage cos he bout as mechanical as a slug! :D

hello all, not been on here for a while - had to get rid of the landy, but... the guy I sold it to has done something to it! there's a nasty clunk/slip from the rear prop shaft area, he thinks after about 9 rotations of the shaft. Am I right in thinking maybe something in the diff has gone? Or...

i use a filter on the end of the crank case breather on my race bike, just plugs into the end of the pipe, dont know if you'd be able to use one of those?

when i had mine it did a bit of this if it stood for a while, i just made sure it had a good run to the mot and was nice and warm as my place tended to do the exhaust test as soon as it arrived so no smoke!:D

when you say loose do you mean easy to press or the wibblyt wobbly kind of loose? you could still have air in the system, make sure you have the bleed nipple at the top as you look at the slave cos it will fit either way round and if its at the bottom it makes life difficult getting all the air...

i had this with my series 3 when i had it, snif snif, anyway it turned out to be the slave cylinder seals were on the way out, check ontop of the crossmember below the box for any fluid and if any is running down the housing, its dead easy to change the slave if it is that! i did have obvious...

if the bottoms are just rotted through around the bolt holes like mine were, you may be able to cut off the lower part and weld the new bit onto the metal coming down from the door pillar, saves a lot of faffing with the welds!

i fitted one to mine by wiring in behind the terminals mentioned, then through a fuse box worked well powered lamp etc no problem dont kow if you need the fuse box but figured it wouldnt hurt! ran the radio through another fuse too! its pretty easy as you have the earth there already behind the...

fit a hard top and a roof rack? got a more secure storage for all the other equipment you need then!

The pulling is probably because one side has a smaller distance between the shoe and drum so it hits first, and as you apply more pressure the other one engages making it even out. You can adjust the distace easy enough. Turn the adjuster till you cant move the wheel by hand (oops, you'd better...

Wish i could do it! sounds like fun! you'd be surprised where landrover parts can be delivered to, like its been said you can get parts sent so long as you've got a phone. A mates grandad did a trip in Africa and had parts sent to the local town in not much time at all! might be worth chatting...

ok now its been trult hijacked!!!! back to the question, the 1/4 ww is not 1/4 inch in size so how does it work then if its 1/4 ww what is that meant to be in inches???? i did think whitworth but only cos i'd heard the name!!!
