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...

Ah well . Checked tracking my vac testers in Argyll delivery center. Cheers yodel. I guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow

Got my easi bleed back today. Came home from work at 4.30. By 5pm we had a solid pedal. My.diagnosis of a dead circuit was right. And it was the front brakes that were not working . No improvement to my vac situation my vac tester hasn't arrived yet hopefully tonight or tomorrow. Get it...

oh yes , with the number of reports of the britparts being DOA im half tempted to just buy a used one off eblag. Also now that my brake system is empty till i get my easibleed back from my mate ill strip down the vac pump tonight and have a good strip down on the bench see if i cant get to this...

Rebuilt the master cylinder tonight. First seal in looked like it had had a tough life. Was all worn and rusty. Only 5 years old :) Will have to wait till Friday to bleed. My easibleeds at a mates and I didnt notice.

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 ?

Oops missed that yesterday. Any idea what size /on for that oring or do I just hit it with my box of random.rubber ?

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...

Today it got a full service all fluids Flushed the radiator out as I've been running.hotter than it used to. Between that and sorting the heat Bowden on the heater box (my heater melts my face now) Also changed rear drive members and shafts

Easy job recovering these yesterday. 10 mins. Really needs reupholstering as this used to be driver's seat can see the bolsters gone on the left side but massive improvement over the old duct taped base.

Nah they just bearmach copies of wolfs. Grand for something that'll probably be smashed off . Passengers one needed replacing for mot next week anyway as some arse hole in a lorry smashed it in traffic trying to squeeze up inside. No picks but **** me the wolf's are huge ...they are like...

Fitted wolf mirrors and arms for towing as I'm.doing it more these days Fitted new wiper blades Re covered the seats with some fresh black vinyl ..(easy job and looks mint really freshens up tired seats)

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.

fitted the bearmach LED direct Series 3 replacement unit last night its about 5 times as bright as the bulb it replaced. dissapointed that its the same light unit with a cheapo LED panel wedged in and some sealant papped around the lens

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.
