I probably would find a leak if i buy a bunch of fluid to pour in and flush through. Problem is the leak happened when parked up for a few days in the lovely August weather which has washed any evidence away. There is clearly an issue to be dealt with and i'm not savvy enough to fix the brakes...

Got no idea where leak is coming from. But there's definitely zero braking at the moment. Not even a nudge

Ha - agree. Problem is i dont think they'll tow from outside my home for free. So actually better off just paying a recovery direct. I just need to find one that does 3.5T vehicles and works on Saturday....

All the fluid has gone. I them emptied the rest of the bottle in to no joy. Can chuck another bottle in there to see if it allows them to work but if it then goes halfway to the garage i (and anyone driving near me) could be in trouble.., Not overly keen on that

Hey lads, Need some help as my 110's brakes have totally failed. Noticed fluid was dropping quicker than normal over last few months but stupidly didnt get anything done as i was busy getting married. Then took the old girl (landy, not the missus) out the other day and put foot on brakes at...

@brian47 Nice. Thanks very much. Definitely don't need aggressive tread. Mostly road driving with occasional off road but only shipping outdoor kit to relatively normal locations. No greenlaning for me at the moment. The tyres i have are definitely well gone - thought it was pretty likely - as...

Hi chaps, Just had the dreaded MOT on my '95 110 Defender. The good news is it passed everything...else. But all 4 tyres failed. And i know the spare is pants. Currently have 7.5 x r16c work tyres on. I live in SW London and the local tyre place weren't too sure on what they could get but...

Nice. I just need to find somewhere to do it as mine is only ever parked up on the street and not sure the council would be pleased! I may have to coerce the parents into letting me use their drive! Equipment wise (after the pressure wash) i assume its mainly the compressor, waxoyl itself, and...

Hey chaps Waxoyl treatment...worth it or not? I've been looking to do it but the places that offer the service are quite expensive. However, to do it yourself looks like quite a nause and needs a fair bit of kit. Do you guys think it's worth undertaking given i do no green laning as yet and...

Hey lads, Checked this and unfortunately no joy. No blockage and intake fan is spinning fine with engine on. It must be a faulty electronic connection. Unfortunately i don't really have the knowledge to find the problem. Have tried waggling the connections from heater and along dash and in...

Hmm okay. I'll give it a go. You got any photos or links to people having done it to point me in right direction? Or shall I just dig through manual and see what I find.

Hi all. Merry Christmas you lot. I have a '95 300tdi and recently replaced the alternator and sorted the cooling system after a few busted bearings and a shredded belt. All working fine now to drive but since she's back, the blower on the heater is only working intermittently (sometimes...

nice. i'll start the search

Hi chaps Next task. All running fine but the heater seems to not be blowing much. In fairness, it barely worked before but it blew a bit. It is blowing hot so don't think it's an issue there but just doesn't really blow. More of a wheeze. I was driving to work the other day and right at the...

Happy to report that battery light is fine and she drives like a dream. No leaks spotted on the engine thus far and all working as it should. Thanks very much to you all for your advice. Couldn't have done it without LZ expertise! A very happy chappy.

I'll check this evening. Assuming that if it doesn't go off that's a problem yes?

Battery light comes on yes. Not really sure what it's supposed to do though! Never paid too much attention to it! Will get a multimeter for the box. Perhaps one for the xmas list so Halfords don't think i am systematically trying to buy up all of their stock. Have really enjoyed it! Even the...

Okay - i don't have a multimeter. I am literally Halfords favourite person. New alternator was the Denso original fitted version. Pulley was on from start so should be right...

Hey all. I shall now refer to myself as 'slightly clued up ish' instead! Yes it is that noise. May just be the new alternator warming up? How do I check the output as you say? Is there likely an issue with the connection not being clean if I didn't use a washer on smaller wire? Didn't change...

probably should have worked that out for myself...
