I suppose it’s par for the course with a landie that’s just passed fifty. The squeak and hot metal hot was the brake shoes which led to properly unbudgeable bolts, corroded seals disintegrating and bearings giving up. In all, along with the front propshaft, she now has new rear wheel cylinders, bearings and brake shoes on both sides along with wheel cylinder unions and brake pipe unions. Blooming good job I didn’t try anything roadside. The back end has been ignored of late due to the front springs, injectors, pump, bulkhead and goodness knows what else so I suppose it’s payback. It is however possible that she will run a lot smoother and maybe the initial problem that has led to so many jobs being done and lots of new parts has been almost inadvertently resolved. Three workshops and ramps later and with plenty of diagnosis and prognosis batted about it might be the diff gets a reprieve, ‘we’ are skint now so I hope so. Long road test tomorrow, me, her and a flask …………….. oh and a phone.
