Hello everybody!
We just bought a 1971 Land Rover 109 Station Waggon where the seller told us that the breakes didn´t work. There was something wrong with the hydraulics hence both the clutch and the brakes were out of order... The problem is that the car needs to be moved tomorrow (approx. 30 kilometers) and our plan was the just tow it with another 4wd car.
Well, now the seller tells us that the handbrake (which we planned to use during the towing) on these cars works not on the brake drums but on the driveshaft. This meaning (according to him) it is more or less like a "on or off" parking brake with no possibility to use for soft breaking during the tow???
Please give us some advice since it´s not legal for us to use a trailer to transport it...
Also - excuse the language since I´m swedish and really not used to explain technical difficulties in english.
Regards from a sunny Sweden!
