    Well that's irritating. I've bled all my brake fluid through the system and still it feels like crap. I bled the master cylinder at the top. I bled all the brakes for ages. The. Car stops quick sharp but the pedals low and feels pish. Its got a new servo and master cylinder seals...

    So the at rev increase in servo assistance was. Red herring. My servo will only hold 5hg. Any more and it bleeds back to 5hg. My vac pumps producing 25hg at idle and 28hg at rev. Removed it. Can't see any damage. It's >5 years old but I'm happy enough with vac pump.and hoses performance...

    Just ordered a vac gauge and tester. I suspect I'll end up buying a new vac pump after testing.

    reading further into it - if that oring was missing/damaged id have no oil pressure period rather than none at the vac pump. I'm inclined to think i might have carbon deposits or otherwise blocking the shaft to the vanes. Hence when i rev centrifugal force is giving me vac but at idle I'm not...

    looks like oring PN is ERR532 Can this be changed in situ by removing the vac pump and fishing out the old one ?

    You might be onto something wjth the low idle. It does vibrate the body a bit at idle. If I stick a tiny bit of throttle on -barely raising it it stops all the vibration. I might twerk it and see what it does. Also the alternator light won't go out until I've touched the throttle. -even with...

    I did and the nrv works grand. Removed it and sucked/blew through it. Don't get me wrong. If I'm out driving and I stamp on the brakes they will throw you through the window. But if i am going down a steep hill and I'm cadence braking to slow without revving in between I seem to exhaust the...

    right - ideas folks. When revs are up i get plenty vac. MY servo holds a vac overnight. When at idle i get **** vac. I have replaced vanes and gaskets in the pump and above/below - things have definantly improved - in thats when i deplete the vac before starting and hold my foot on the...

    Seat base life expectancy

    my genuine seats(what were the delux model at the time) are 116k in now and look great but all the paddings gone. one would argue if you didnt know what a land rover seat was like when new it would be grand but it needs replacing.

    Rear Reverse light/work light

    Me again...

    Check the wires on the back of the starter are nutted down tight. It's not uncommon for those to come loose and this is one of the symptoms......don't ask.how I know :) Check your earth's have not corroded by capillary up their length at either end-another common cause.
