Having fitted a new clutch, new slave and attached this to a known working master cylinder I was not at all surprised to find the clutch bite was in the carpet. It has happened before but never really found not why it happens and how to fix it...

Change of tack this morning. Instead of ignoring this thread I've decided to ignore some suspension knocks, saggy headlining and a floppy drivers side mirror

Is that a filter in the brake reservoir or has it been filled with tomato soup? 😃

I appreciate the comments @pscan.eu and @Alibro I will be keeping this in mind for the future for sure, however, I was already planning to use custom brake lines for this vehicle (it is not a daily driver or even remotely close to such) so the...

From my experience; Rimmer Bros customer services like to play these games. They supplied me with reversing sensors that didn't work and then told me that because I had tried them that I would have to put in a warranty claim and wait for...

Agreed, if the assistant is pumping the pedal with the bleed nipple open, every time they lift their foot air gets in.

Wait! Ignore? My bad! Just read the whole thread so far... will ignore from now on!

Yes Sat night camping is the plan. That's not to say Friday night is a no no if you have far to come.

I'll probably be down during the day Saturday, but wouldn't be staying overnight, would be great to meet everyone though!

Couldn't agree more, would match the Blue Coolant lines too!!

50th Anniversary blue is essential.

Yeah, definitely my plan, it seems that the one I have found does 3 sets of flares, SAE, DIN and DUAL which is apparently a flare that can work with both almost "universally" I will be sure to ask them about it and report back. Will also update...

No idea ! Depends who makes them and what you ask for I guess. Safest is to contact a supplier and either buy some or ask them for the threads. Maybe you can specify threads and keep them the same as the rest ofnthe vehicle ??

That is exactly what I was looking for! Hiw couldn't I find this :rolleyes: None the less as mine is less ABS i should imagine they'll all be m10x1 they all seem to be the same size. Follow up though, I'm looking for custom SS braided lines, I...

On my 2002 onwards they are M10 x 1.0 except 2 larger ones on the ABS which are M12. Search my thread as there are double and single flares which require SAE and DIN flare tools and you MUST use the correct nut. A double flare requires a...

Hey all! This is a mini-post in relation to: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/unable-to-bleed-brakes.398398/ : But I believe it would serve better for future looking if this was on it's own. I am looking to get some custom Brake lines...

Tried this link and for less than a fiver got the code back within minutes. https://ebay.us/m/VCDWed All works fine !!

You can count me and my half as coming! We'll try to get the Freelandy up and running in time, but we may need to tow it too!! Even popped it in the calendar so I don't forget!

We live in EX16, so I'd like to think we could come by. Assuming the FL2 doesnt go into limp mode too many times on the way there! If I tow it there with the 110, will the 110 get firebombed when I arrive? : )

I've never done with with brakes, only on a clutch on an old Peugeot that was very difficult to do, but I think it would work. I got a length of hose that was secure on the bleed nipple but long enough to run all the way back to the fluid...

So... I ordered a new master cyclinder after trying to rebuild mine and finding that there was a a hole that had rusted through one of the master cylinder "Seats" into the chamber which will have 100% been causing my issues. However, upon...

It's just the ball that's missing. That can be bought anywhere that sells tow bars or towing accessories, but get the bolts too. It's probably been removed to save shin pain, as they're perfectly positioned to give a right old knock on the shin...

An MOT tester once put the flattened hose as an advisory on mine some years ago.

Green car into workshop, had a bit of an electric drive around on starter first as most of it will go in the scrap bin!! All bits in better condition than donor engine swapped over; pcv, fuel return hose, broken clips etc. All top disconnections...

Just revisiting this idea. To accommodate the comments made, proposing Saturday 13th September. Again, if there are enough 👍then I will do some planning.

Solid yes if mine works by then... considering most of it is / is going to be custom it would be nice to show off :p

Hi Saxavordian and GrumpyGel and all the others who have taken the time to reply.By the way that Nissan Juke was not for me. We presently run a 2003 Freelander Serengeti which suits us both including easyish access getting in and out for my wife...

Just a word of warning, please don't make more than 1 post on the same matter, if no-one has replied to your current post, wait, or reply to your current post but if no one replies, it is quite likely those that have seen it don't know

I do not, however, there is a good 'ol way to test a fuel pump (not a definitive test) but have someone start it and gently but firmly tap the top of it with a hammer, like a starter motor and see if it continues to idle, if it does, I would...
