    Brake servo type

    OK so you have discs on the front and drums on the rear? If you have, then you will have a single leading shoe on each side, with a snail adjuster for each shoe. Adjust each one evenly until it binds, and then back off a couple of clicks. Then, with the engine running, pump the pedal hard a few...

    Brake servo type

    First of all, I would ask @jamesmartin for his advice. Have you tested the servo yourself, or have you just taken their word for it? Do you know how to test it? How much do they 'quote' to change it?

    Diff Pinion Flange Dropped Off

    As they dragged, sorry, towed her from the garage back to dump her outside my house, with the front diff out, is there any chance of further, internal damage to either the halfshafts, CV coupling in the steering ball, bearings, oil seals or anything else? The halfshaft drive flanges had been...

    Diff Pinion Flange Dropped Off

    The Rolls Royce Apprentice Training School in Derby used to be the best in trhe world ... bar none! That's what I imagined all apprantice schools would be like, and using that as a benchmark, especially when they provide 'training' to CGLI Level 3, which to me means good quality hands-on...

    Can't get the brakes pass MOT

    "Have emptied and replaced the brake fluid" 'Replacing' does not constitute 'flushing out!', as it can leave contaminants and grunge in :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Diff Pinion Flange Dropped Off

    Thanks @tottot I'm fitting the newly ordered, guaranteed rebuilt diff and a new prop, both of which are covered under a long warranty, so all I need to do is fit them when they arrive, probably in the middle of nexrt week, fill with the wonderful EP90, and then we should be 'good to go' -...

    Can't get the brakes pass MOT

    I'ds be inclined to start at the cheap end, and look at the colour and condition of the fluid. If it's any darker shade than new, or has any floaters in it, change the lot ... and I don't mean just bleeding it, I mean give it a good flushing through. I recently sorted out a similar probem with a...

    Diff Pinion Flange Dropped Off

    They towed her back and dumped her outside the house, on a public street at around 0800, knowing full well that she was SORN'd, and then someone anonymously advised the DVLA of an untaxed,abandoned vehicle at my address! Fortuitously, I rang the DVLA for advice, and they told me to get her taxed...

    Broken down . Advice please

    I think I'd be inclined to start by checking the fuses, because if the fuse ain't working, then the relays ain't working thence the dash lights and associated stuff won't be working either. That's ratterer logic, and it might just work on your Gaylanderer/hairdrierer
