Hi Nodge, Thanks for the reply. I thought as much. Fortunately, injectors aren’t that dear to replace if I end up wrecking it during removal. I’ll buy a slide hammer and have a go when it turns up.

Good evening all, I’ve been working through a few faults and issues with my L series freelander and finally made it to the injectors. I managed to remove, clean, check and refit numbers 2, 3 and 4 injectors with zero issues. Number 1 though has been a complete pain in the arse. I managed to get...

Well that logic follows every other thing I’ve had to do to it in the last two years!

I’m going to have a play with the drums and shoes and go from there. Failing that.... bonfire!!

I’ll have a look and see if there’s anywhere else to bleed it but I can see anywhere. It had new slides and pads 6k miles ago. And I’ve fitted new discs too. This car is like triggers broom!!! I’m going to strip and rebuild the drums and whatnot over the next few days so will see what that...

Mine doesn’t have abs so it’s not that. As for bleeding methods. I’ve used gunson eziebleed, a vacuum bleeder and the two man method. I’m 100% confidet that there’s no air in the system as when the front flexihose is clamped, a rock solid (as in jumping on the floor solid!!) pedal is achieved...

Hi all, Apologies for the delay... I’ve been out of the country with work for a couple of weeks. Quick update..... I tried a replacement caliper which had no effect. So still had a soft pedal. I’m now totally and utterly flummoxed. The only next step I can think of is to check the nearside...

That’s where I am!!

Soft. As soon as you allow pressure into the Caliper, the pedal goes soft.

Also tried that. There were two of us last night. The hose isn’t moving at all. When we clamped the hose, we clamped it as near to the Caliper end as possible

Done that.... still the same. This has me flummoxed

hi all, I’ve had an issue with the brakes on my FL-1 L series for some time now. The brakes are functional but not great. I’ve bled, re-bled and re-re-bled the system on numerous occasions to no avail. I am more than 100% confident there is no air in the system. The master cylinder has been...

We've have it all to bits again, re-filled and re-bled and it's still the same. I'm as sure as I can possibly be that there's no air in there as we've pushed a good amount of fluid through the system. Everything I read points to the master cylinder being duff so I picked one up earlier, will...

Morning chaps, I've been scratching my head about this all last night and this morning and I think I've described the problem incorrectly.... the brake pedal actually hits the floor when the engine is on. We've checked the master cylinder by blocking off the outlets and the pedal holds up firm...

Well... everyday's a school day! Even better if it means I won't have to shell out again on the green machine! Thanks guys, I'll see how it goes over the next few days and report back. Danke! Ian.

I've never heard that before. Is it a common thing then that the pedal goes all the way down following a pad change? I guess I can ask the mot station to give it a whirl on the brake-o-stop-o-test-o-meter. That'll at least tell me if the money I've spent so far has bettered the utterly dismal...

No, it has had new pads but has only been test driven on a track so the pads have done about 20 meters of braking. No MOT so can't give it a good go on the roads.

hi all, Another issue with my brakes now on my 2000 L Series Diesel commercial.... I've had new brake lines front to rear (corroded to buggery) and a new brake servo/booster unit (cracked). Now that the brakes have been bled I get a firm pedal with the engine off but when the pedal is depressed...

I checked there but they're out of stock. Got one arriving tomorrow from a local motor factors at a reasonable price.

Tidy! Thanks chaps. Just been quoted £105+vat so it's in the ball park. Cheers, Ianz
