Thanks Ed. I am in the middle south coast and am always open to make contact with other owners. These C202s vehicle is some what rare in UK and bits are hard to source. I have stood back from the brake problem at the moment, should be able to get back on it this week. I started to get the clutch back together so I could refit the engine and now find that the lever that operates the fork/release bearing is made for cable clutch where as mine is hydraulic. I could botch it and try to alter it to fit but would prefer the proper thing. Attached is a photo of the C202 from a previous owners in the 1980s with some Landys. Since then it has lost its back cab and is now a pick up. Cheers

As a newbie, I am hoping you will accept my forum membership even though my vehicle is a Volvo. When Volvo made the Laplander C202 for civilian market 1974 to 1981, they transfered production to Hungary. They made about 3,000. They sourced quite a few bits from the Landrover "parts bin" for production. Particullaly brakes and some clutch stuff. I am rebuilding one in the UK. One of my many problems has been the brakes (the Laplander was sitting for 25 years outside before I got it) I have sourced all the bits for the brakes, wheel cylinders and shoes from Landrover parts suppliers, with some new pipe work I have got to the stage of Bleeding the brakes. Each front brake has 2 cylinders from LR 109 6/8 cylinder..Series 3? maybe Forward control. I still have air in the system and feel it is due to these front cylinders. Is there a system or tips I can try ? The cylinders have the pipe inlet and bleed nipple. does it matter which way round this is? The master cylinder I could not replace so it was rebuilt/rebored and sleeved by Past Parts co. I managed to get a new seal kit from Sweden. Thanks for your attention.
