Currently chasing a ‘loss of servo assistance’ when cadence braking, Does any one know what vacuum a vacuum pump on a 200tdi (and similar) engine should make at idle? Mine makes -26InHG and I don’t know if that’s okay or not. It also drops by about 10 for one press of the brake. It’s a that...

Not a series Land Rover, but a Sankey trailer of the same age. rod operated drum brakes. many one got any tips on setting them up? What’s the best way to ensure the shoes are parallel to the drums? I know how to adjust them, but for the love of me I can’t get one side to bite as hard as the...

As per title, should LZIR be hidden from google searches, I.e a section of the forum that is only visible (and searchable) once you have joined and hit a certain number of posts or something? Seems to me people join the forum purely to seek recovery, and often don’t even drive the marque and...

I have some bump steer and its been suggested to me by several people that its likely swivel preload after checking things like panhard bushes etc and finding no problem. Trouble is i am confused. I have a 1991 defender, that should be bush and pin arrangement right? So does the top pin wear...
