Ahh bugger. That doesn’t look good! Sorry to say that someone has fleeced you out of your well-earned money. Was this from a dealer or private sale?

You might have some air trapped in the master cylinder, or the new master cylinder is dodgy, did you get a good brand?

Cheers mate. Is it possible to extract the old bolt from above? I’ve got some of the “special” bolts on order as part of the fuel tank fixings kit. I couldn’t see how to do it! Mind you, I had had enough of it by then. Bloody rusty piece of **** !

I’ve dropped the fuel tank to do some chassis repairs and I’ll be needing to replace the two captive bolts that hold the rear of the tank/cradle up. Is this possible without major cut-and-shut surgery? Trying to plan ahead for tomorrow, couldn’t work it out today! Cheers

This is the one I opted for. It seems to be sold by multiple retailers, but the next day delivery was just too tempting. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01M4RC2YW?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Cheers for all the suggestions. This arrived today and I’m suitably impressed with the quality for the price. I’ll be punching the missus later using the special grease, being extra careful not to get any near her mouth.

Useful for re-plumbing the CH system at home then!

Cheers mate. I saw your thread from a few years back, good to see you’ve got on with that tool. I think I’ll end up going for this one.

Cheers. I think that’s the style I’ll be going for. That seems a good price for anything made in England these days!

Cheers, Dippy. I find the Sealey range of tools to be mostly very reliable!

Looks a quality bit of kit! But out of my price range for want I’m needing it for.

Trying to get the old rot-box back in the road and I’m going to need to replace a few of the brake lines (front half I replaced with cupro-nickel a few years ago). Have you got any recommendations for an effective flaring tool which won’t brake (ba dum tss) the bank? I’m thinking along the lines...

Looks a bit minging, but I wouldn’t worry about it. A good clean and new s/s pistons with seals and she’ll be good again!

I paid £70 for a windscreen fitter to put mine in. I’m happy to tackle any job on the old girl, but this was £70 I really didn’t mind parting with!

Put the vehicle on axle stands, check each wheel can be spun freely ie. none of the brakes are binding. If it passes this test then get someone to press the brake pedal whilst you check the clamping force of each wheel, use a crow bar (other brute force tools are available) to lever each wheel...

Well it wasn’t me! 😆 I can picture the stand though, no idea of a name though. Not long to go until the big day.

Indeed it probably was! Small world! Some guy asked me where I got the two blowers from and I gloated about my supposed bargain. He wanted directions to the seller, not sure why, it’s not like the seller had a stack of blowers to sell. Got one working after a quick valve adjustment, so I’m...

My mate and I noticed the increase in non-Landy/tool/farm tat, it won’t be long before it ends up like a crappy car boot sale. Still, it was a good day out. I ended up with two Makita 4-stroke leaf blowers, some new wellies, a couple of heavy-duty g-clamps, plus some other sundries. We enjoy the...

Be there or be square. Happy junk hunting, hope you’ve all had your tetanus booster.

Aye, I’ll be there. I accidentally bought tickets for it back in March. Are you going for a jolly?
