  1. Amazing pis & videos Naks. Thanks for posting. Brings back memories of a safari I did in Kenya a few years back.
  2. I have light bars on both my 110 & 90,this high pitch whistling really bugged me,so,after a bit of trial & error I found that a piece of flexible edge trim clipped onto each of the fins. This sort of thing. https://www.amazon.com/Edge-Trim-Black-Small-Length/dp/B00KG9BAY0 Completly stops the noise,it doesn't effect the cooling the fins give to the light bar too much either,& cheap. Hope this of help to someone. Marc.
  3. I'll chip in with another vote for George White,he shipped a digger to France for me a couple of years ago,& as said prices by the M2. Marc
  4. Great post.... Thanks for sharing. 😎 Marc.
  5. A good freind of mine has this.
  6. Hey Tom, Glad that you got there in the end. So,this morning I bled everything through AGAIN,but this time as recomended on another forum,starting with the furthest wheel from the MC.Also jacking up each wheel in turn,to give a high spot for any air to rise to!!!Tried it.....NO diferent......So,I thoght,go back to the begining.Starting at the new master cylinder.When I took it off I noticed a mark or a bit of damage on the piston,checked the old one,no marks or damage on that one.Looked into the hole in the servo,& the rod that locates in the piston of the MC had fallen out of position,so therefore not engaging inside the piston.Assembled it again making sure the rod was located in the MC piston,bled up as above.......YAAAAY!....I have brakes.I still need to road test tomorow,but fingers crossed Ihave got to the bottom of the problem.I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has taken their time to give advice on this.This forum is brilliant & invaluable to all who want to be as involved in the maintainence of their Land Rovers.Marc
  7. What about the servo Tom? I haven't changed/checked that. I had a suggestion on another forum the diaphram in the servo could be split???? Marc
  8. Oh Tom! When I finished yesterday I was getting a bit of something at the front,so thought a bit more bleeding,& I'd be there. But after loads more bleeding today.....Nowt! There must be air in there somewhere?But somehow fluid is getting through. I'm at a loss. Marc.
  9. I'm getting a good flow of fluid at the front bleed nipples,not quite as good at the rear,but fluid all the same,& am able to bleed all calipers so no air visible. Marc.
  10. I'm at the point where the Mrs is keeping all sharp object away from me...plus matches,as I want to set the bloody thing on fire. I've pressure bled these brakes now so many times I've lost count. STILL no brakes front or rear.... Like Tom,fitted new calipers,discs,& pads,master cylinder & brake bias valve. 😭 *Marc
  11. Oh,I hope not!!!!!! I'll feel a right knob,if it is. Marc.
  12. So,I fitted the new BBV today. No real dramas,a bit fiddly but,I've done plenty of worse jobs. The problem I now have is bleeding the brakes up. I bled the front brakes with a Gunson pressure bleed kit until no air bubbles,tried the pedal & it was quite low & not very firm.Absolutely no brake operation at the caliper. So,bled again & again & again,4 times in total. Pedal now feels a little better & I have brakes at the front.But none at the back. On a side note,& forgive me if I'm missing something obvious....Or,just being thick. When I was testing to see if the rear brakes were working.The front wheels are off,car on axel stands.I jacked one rear wheel to spin it.It wont spin,like a locker is engaged?Car is in neuteral &high low lever in neuteral also.Surely with one wheel off the ground it should spin freely??? Marc
  13. Thanks for that tip Tom,I'll give it a try. Marc.
  14. Yup. They are only 40mins from me,the 2 lads there are very knowledgable,& they only supply decent quality parts...No Britpart! Much better since the new owner took over a few years ago. Marc.
  15. Ahhhh.....My bad.....I have a bias valve then,not a PDWA. I hope I ordered the correct part.😦My local Landy parts supplier is usualy prety good & knows my vehicles.I said it was for my 300tdi D90.So, fingers crossed. Cheers all. Marc.
