I got my tracking done a week or so back after fitting new track rod ends - what a difference! I can actually go round corners now without feeling like I'm gonna end up in the ditch. I've been considering replacing the steering damper - just not sure whether it needs it or not! What made you...

Either engine can be made to fit. What is in the Defender at the moment?

Fitted new brake servo. Still got useless brakes :(

The wonders of the interweb... Land Rover Defender 90 2.5 TD/NA Brake Vacuum Pump on eBay (end time 13-Apr-11 15:28:17 BST)

Is it definitely knackered?

^^^^ Agreed. I've just had mine apart.

Which? Pump or servo?

You got another Disco, Daft? Your driveway must be getting busy! :p

I've got oil pressure, turbo boost pressure and water temperature on my "Mud Pod" Wait! Why have I got water temperature there? When I swapped engines my original gauge didn't operate properly with the new sender unit - the new gauge came with it's own sender. I've now added a second...

B*****d brake servo meant I had to give it a miss - really sorry to have missed it as I'd been looking forward to this! :( Glad you had a good time.

Replaced brake master cylinder (yesterday). Brakes still not sorted. Took servo off - rusty water came out of it :(

What a rip-off! £12 for a 99p switch and a couple of crimp terminals. I really wish I'd thought of it first! As everyone else has said - it'll be a switch in the feed to the fuel solenoid. Dead easy to do it yourself.

Here's an idea - tell them what you've fitted and let them decide!

You can send the wench this way if you like - I've got some nuts that need tightening. Oh, sorry - thought you said "wrench".

I bought a Series 2 that turned out to be a Series 3 that had been given an earlier identity - presumably to make it road tax exempt. Rightly or wrongly I sold it on as I just didn't want that hanging over me. In my case it would have been very difficult to prove what had happened, since the...

AP = AP Lockheed. I believe Delphi are the parent company.

I had mine off at the weekend - was going to clean the insides, but luckily my hub seals are leaking so badly that the wheels have a nice coat of oil inside and out so they ain't going to rust in a hurry! :o

I can't see what difference it makes - it's the combined current draw that'll be the issue.

You'd be surprised how many people don't! :)

That's cool - I get that. I bled the system fully this afternoon - new fluid all the way through to each brake. The car was bone dry underneath so I was able to check all the pipes and hoses - no sign of any leaks. It still seems more like a master cylinder failure than anything else.
