I changed one of the rear bleed nipples,just because the spanner was starting to round the nut head. Marc.

v8250..... Thank you so much for your in depth description,& advice. So,this morning I bled everything through AGAIN,but this time as you recomended,starting with the furthest wheel from the MC.Also jacking up each wheel in turn,to giv a high spot for any air to rise to!!! Tried it.....NO...

How do I check the servo is OK? Marc.

Thanks for taking the time to post this. The only thing I haven't replaced on the front brakes is the servo. The rear brakes I haven't touched! I have NOT been bleeding starting at the furthest caliper away,as I only changed things on the front.Though,as I've changed the Bias valve,I suppose...

That's a defeatist attitude,but,If I knew someone who could do more than me,I'd gladdly let them try. Marc

I'm at the point where the Mrs is keeping all sharp object away from me...plus matches,as I want to set the bloody thing on fire. I've pressure bled these brakes now so many times I've lost count. STILL no brakes front or rear.... Fitted new calipers,discs,& pads,master cylinder & brake bias...

I hope not!!!!! I'll feel a right prat,if it is. Can't look until tomorrow. Marc

So,I fitted the new BBV today. No real dramas,a bit fiddly but,I've done plenty of worse jobs. The problem I now have is bleeding the brakes up. I bled the front brakes with a Gunson pressure bleed kit until no air bubbles,tried the pedal & it was quite low & not very firm.Absolutely no brake...

I'm having very similar problems with mine. Have a look at the thread I've got running at the mo,& where I'm up to. https://forums.lr4x4.com/topic/107063-brake-problem/ Maybee yours is the same problem? Marc

After I tried reverse bleeding back to the reservoir. I thought the same thing. I disconected the feed pipe from the back of the caliper & reverse pumped fluid through with my syringe,that spurted out fine,so no blockage in the caliper.

OK,after trying to reverse bleed the system.....Not a chance,no fluid being forced up to the reservoir at all. I'm thinking it could be the presure reducing valve on the bulkhead just under the servo. Any thoughts guys? Marc.

Mmmmm,which pipe? There are 3.

Sme calipers,yes,but with a spacer between the 2 halfs to allow for the thicker vented disc. The flexis are extended stainless jobbies,I wouldn't hav thought tey would baloon like the rubber ones do? Thanks Marc

OK. Bear with me here peeps. A few weeks ago,I came to move my 300tdi 90,& no brakes.Fluid reservoir was empty. There was no signs of a major leak,but a slight leak on one of the front calipers,so, assumed that was the problem. So,changed the front calipers for a bit of an upgrade to 110...

Yes,for sure. The next trip will be late April /early May next year,depending on when the high trails are passable.(with a bit of work....Digging, winching etc.;)) PM me your contact details & I'll keep you informed. Marc.

I'm up in the Dordogne,but organise trips to the Pyrenees 2 or 3 times a year. Marc.

Hi Very nice looking truck. Do you have any pics of the interior? The price is Euros? Are you in Ireland Thanks Marc

I run KM3s as an everyday tyre on my 90,(the one in my avatar). They are a great tyre in all conditions,except wet tarmac,as they don have sipes,so dont clear water very well,I find them to have a tendancy to silp when cornering. They are OK in mud.....But,not a patch on the Insa Turbos I run...

Hi You got any pics of the interior,& what are the door bottoms like? Cheers Marc.

Welcome,to another expat in France. You will find lots of good info on here.As well as a few 'caracter's' Marc
