Any other ideas chaps.

adjusted them earlier but made no difference. Will have another look tomorrow. Internet isnt throwing anything up (or rather throwing everything up). This thread needs a conclusion 3 years on. ::)

I've got this problem too. Brakes work low down ok but a quick up and down and it bites much further up the pedal. And also you can feel the pedal move down under pressure with engine on as you say. Did you fix this in the end?

Interesting. so perhaps the shoes are recoiling to far making too much pedal movement to push them out. Good thinking. I shall check this first.

Morning all, I dont drive my defender much, and was hoping someone has experiacned this issue before and can advise the best place to start before i begin replacing everything. Car is a 200tdi Defender 90, 1992 used for offroading. The issue is with the brakes and partiularly the pedal. When...

What have i not done on the 90 today would be a shorter list. Should be back on the road for P&P on sunday.

Good Stuff. I canceled mine in the end as the bloke ran out. And i couldnt justify paying 16 quid for a dvd so didnt bother. I guess ill just have to learn when im out there or sneakly get u to rip me off a copy. Landrover currently poorly tho. Should be ready for a crimbo jaunt tho...

its actually army green. The bonnet is black tho. Only had it about 3 weeks. Tbh its so full of holes there is plenty of ventilation, esp with the gun turrets (thats what i call them) open and doing 70 on the motorway. :) Yeah i still not decided on a colour/theme yet either. The pink one could...

Don, ever get those pics up of yours? i wanna see what the colour is like. Here is a couple of quick photoshops to show some potential. Something along the lines of this. Here is one for you Booger.

Salmon Red? :P Yeah was thinking more yellow orange than reddy orange tho. Turns out i really suck hard at photoshop, i only end up with a dody greeny orange looking photo. Never mind. I guess an orbital sander will be the easiest for that. Perhaps do a side at a time and a few coats. Damn...

Looks like we are all in a similar boat then. See my DIY paint job thread as mine is currently brush painted green too lol. Nothing says shoot me like a army green defender with union jacks on it :) Yeah got the bug but not gone anywhere yet! YouTube - LoneWolfTransglobal's Channel

lol nah. Was gonna be something black n orange themed. Not sure yet tho. see what i come up with. It wont be anything special be assured :)

Awesome. I look forward to your pictures. Is it required to sand back to almost bare metal or just quick prep to make a surface which is usable? Need to get my photoshop (lack of) skills on the go and come up with some graphics for it. :)

Got any pictures of your outcome in orange The Don? Can only find aerosols on their website?

Whats the best roller paint then or just any metal paint. Cant seem to find tangiers orange doh. Generic bright orange it is then!

Yeah sounds similar. Think we will plan more towards the dead than boring tho. Want some adventure as griff said rather than just a long drive. Want to go well off the beaten track. Id love to go head first into a hardcore trip but, my sensible head means im gonna have to do some smaller ones...

Cool. Will do. Any challanging ones? or ones with good scenery/out the way?

Howd u get on with that dvd rusty? I have just ordered it. Have been feltting with the 90 and it needs some work doing. But im itching to get it into somewhere remote. The more ive looked the more ive found plenty of potentially cool places to take it within relativly short periods. It also...
