Hi yes from engine breather (by the rocker cover on the left side of the engine) to Air filter housing

Thanks for your reply, that's a good news

Hi Everyone My Defender has 300tdi conversion possibly engine from a Discovery. I took off the air filter housing for a cleanup and started the vehicle to check something else and noticed that bit of water was coming out of the crankcase breather hose? It started and runs fine and there isnt any...

Hi have installed a auxiliary battery and standalone Glow plug relay with another timer relay. A thick 12v live and negative cables from the Auxiliary battery. But still when Glow plugs are glowing voltage drops to 10.6 - 10.8 the max from 12.7v. Chassis earth wasn't a issue but I have cleaned...

That's a great news. Yesterday I tested the Britparts Glow glow out from the situ with another battery and they were starts to flow within 5-10 seconds in full. This morning I turned the ignition switch to the position 1 then all of the dash lights comes up, then I turned the key position to...

Would it require a new ignition switch and/or barrel to install the glow plugs on a relay ? Any idea if the existing spring action ignition switch has any timer on it for Glow plugs?

That thick brown Glow plug wire on the bulk head, comes out with main wiring loom. I will take a picture behind the speedo/dash and will post it here today.

I really appreciate your reply and thanks for you time and guidance. Previously I always started Defender 90 by straight turning the key like a petrol car and it always started without any issues. As I wasn't ware of the pre heating procedure that ignition switch need to turn and hold onto the...

Hi Flossie It is 100% a spring action ignition switch. Recently it was struggling to start in the morning. I checked all of the Glow plugs and all were dead and were replaced with new Britparts Glow plugs. I thought to check the Glow plug relay too but it does not have any Glow plug relay. When...

Hi Rorie did you managed to fine any alternative to this G-Valve NRC8215?

Hi I blanked off rear brake brake line from MC and straight away brake peddle becomes stronger not sinking anymore so the rear brakes G-Valve is faulty part number NRC8215. Now the trouble is it’s not available any longer. What would be the alternative to this G-Valve please?

Thanks for your advice, I tried holding the brakes but no luck but another trick has worked as I tried to describe below

Hi I can yes, or lock it with a long piece of wood. How long do I have to hold it for? Someone else mentioned that G-valve can cause this issue NRC8215?

Hi I have just took the MC out and measured the inside seat depth where the push rod hits. It’s exactly the same as the old MC. I have refitted the MC and bleed the brakes. Brakes are still soft and brakes locks about 2 inches away from foot rest. Not sure what to do. 😢

Hi I think it had the brake disc conversion by previous owner. Master cylinder is old type with only 2 brake pipes connection. Size and shape of the Master cylinder's looks the same and it fitted without any problem. But I don't know if MC is for Brake drums or for rear discs. I was about to...

Hi it has the brake discs all around and there was no air coming out of the brake fluid nipples at rear. I will try to find YouTube videos. Is it worth reverse bleeding the brake oil? Thanks

Hi sorry for keep asking. I have bleeded the brakes twice and there were no air bubbles. Breake works but bitting point is low. Is that normal after fitting new Master cylinder?

That’s great news, thanks for being so supportive 🙏

Right now my Defender is on jack stands (12 tonne a pair) front and rear. (while Defender is on the jack stands) after the brakes bleeding, is it good idea to text the brakes with or without wheels? Please advice

The new master cylinder doesn’t have the grove like old one. So I guess an o ring will seal it.
