    Just to confirm @Hicap phill above the interior/ dash light switch as standard gives dash lights one way and interior light the other way with both off in the middle.

    Could be the clutch flexi pipe has delaminated inside, result black fluid and possible blockage. Remove pipe from slave and see if fluid will flow from master.

    My 1990 Ninety has both Permanent live wire and a switched one available for the lighter socket. I think how which was connected depended on the country vehicle was sold in.

    I don't think anyone is saying it isn't a thing. They are mandated for most cars drag racing if you go over 'x' speed or run 'y' time. But rarely are they a factory fitted item on most vehicles or 4x4's. And certainly never in the case of the...

    What is a matter with the trailer brakes? In good order the trailer brakes will be coming on with only a normal light touch on the towing vehicles brakes. And the more weight there is in the trailer the harder its brakes should come on. Or is...

    Think the pump deuse fuel system only runs at 4 bar on the td5, high pressures are actually generated at the injector itself. Being a tightwad I would chuck a litre or two of oil the the tank and run it. I had a td5 years ago and I ran it on all...

    Running on two? Noise/blowing out of the air filter points to valve gear issue of some sort, or head gasket blown between two cylinders.

    So many questions on here about LED lights not working with Landys. I will say if you know your electrics then give it a go. If electrics not your thing then pass. Often not a case of just swapping over units. Oh and hello to the forum.

    Are you driving with the 4WD LT230 diff lock on ? The clutch release bearings are normally pretty reliable and only melt/screw up if you are driving around with your foot on the clutch all the time. is the clutch an LOF by any chance ?

    Problems with expander can be, incorrect re assembly, or one of the little pistons [bottom] drops out unnoticed when replacing shoes, or it is just worn out.

    That was pretty much the system that was used 40 years ago. However nearly all air brake systems today use compression rather than the vacuum of old.
