Put the battery back on and scraped the ice off the inside of the landie, including ignition. Who's bright idea was it to shove the battery under the seat? Door has to be open while you take it out so Snowy and Frosty creep in.
Lined battery compartment and still confused as to what the big lump of metal is for (about 12" long, flat with a 4" wide hollow tube sticking up from it. Must be for something)
Went out for a ride thinking great, lots of snow on the roads only to find the only place with ice and snow is our road....buggar! Even the farm tracks are practically clear.

made up a noo brake line for the N/S front calliper and replaced the old one cos it wouldn't seal. Bled the brakes again they now seem to work better, but pedal seems to have a lots of travel?? possibly because the pistons are free to move unlike the old ones??

Goes about halfway down. I suspect a bit of air is still in the calliper
does the peddle get solid or is it spongy??

If ya double pump it it goes harder (OOOOEEEERRRR) so thinking a bit of air in it. Fooking stops though?? Of copurse it could just be me been paranoid ??
Also the discs had some sticky goo on em to stop rust. so maybe that just needs to clear away. & the noo pads to bed in??

mine does exactly the same... first time very little and nearly to the floor , second time stops like an emergency stop.... I just thought it was Landy thing and adapted my braking technique
