The servo simply uses vacuum to assist in pressing the pedal so not much effort is needed as opposed to a non servo clutch set up. If fluid level is the same, I would try bleeding from the slave cylinder first then try it again. A very easy job to do. Report back if you can.

1997 300tdi Defender 90. Acceleration down, much black smoke, running pretty poorly then the clutch slave went on me so I started in the workshop today. Slave was relatively quick job then onto the poor running. I opened up the top of the fuel pump to find much water and rust. After extracting...

that space costs me £300 a month plus water and electricity, but it does have 3 phase for the ramp. I reckon a bargain for a city location.

Yes it is. My workshop was born as a stable in 1903, sometime around 1920's it became a small engineering factory followed by a grinding factory. In 2000 it was left empty and a firm of solicitors moved their paperwork into it. It became too damp for that and it was left empty for 5 years and I...

Had my Defender 90 (1997) for 3 months now, still got the Sll though. Defender, gauges were reading high when I put heater blower on and gauge lights were dimming. Blower was losing fan speed with headlights on, intermittent wiper stopped all together. Remedy. I took the gauges plug apart and...

Had a complete set of Rocky mountains on my 1958 SII for 12 years now, much better articulation, better at speed and cornering, better off road, cant fault them yet.

I had to beat my pulley to death to get it off, and i mean a lump hammer for about an hour. My arms resembled poppeye's when I was done. Yes, I now need a new crank pulley.

I got me a borehole camera from a famous auction website, now as soon as i can get the injectors out it will be a quick look down the bores, if I can get some spray lube in it may well unseize itself. Here's hoping.

Now when I say the injectors are stuck,. they are STUCK. So I got me a slide hammer but the adaptor is M10 to M12, not fitting the injector thread so I have ordered an M14 tap set, going to make me an M10 to M14 adaptor for pulliing the injectors out. I did try towing it down my road in 5th but...

Last year came and went. Yesterday i dragged the dead lump into my garage. Took the front off and just kept going till I reached the crank pulley, the bolt came out but I had top beat the pulley to death to remove it, in doing so i hit the water pump housing so need a new one of those too. Got...

A change of job so the beast is still on the drive, dead as a dead thing. Somehow this year it will get done and I will post back, pics and all.

I planted a 300tdi and LT77 box into my S2 88" back in 1992. Probably one of the very first S2s with a 300Tdi transplant. I took the body off, made the job easier. Had to move engine mounts, gearbox mount, battery, radiator and find room for the intercooler, move the front grill forwards, alter...

I put a 300tdi in my 1958 series 2 in 1992, ran it for two years and then some major works were needed on transmission, gearbox, clutch, etc. Now I have found the time to get all the jobs done but i went to start her yesterday after 8 years and the engine won't turn. I tried a bar and socket on...

Teflon, excellent informative website you put together. Well done.

I tend to travel many miles on road to get to the 'off road' venues. I use 15" Kuhmo power guards which seem to be good all round tyres. Not the best on road or off road but they are very quiet on a long run. Looking to put a complete new set of mud tyres on spare rims and take them with me but...

Hi Roy, when I get around to it I was thinking the same for the series. Air to be taken from a compressor mounted to the front on top of the crank pulley where the P/S pump used to be. I have no P/S on the Series. Try motorcycle breakers for the air shocks, may sound daft but a single motorcycle...
