Yup I too saw a thread about it a long time ago. IIRC the Disco master cylinder sat at an angle due to the Discos bulkhead being at an angle which is not ideal.
Hence my asking about the Defender ABS items. Having had a brief look at one the servo appears to be spaced off the pedal box but the master cylinder is at the correct inclination. Does it use a unique pedal box ?
So will the ABS parts work on a non ABS system and more pertinently does it make any difference to braking effectiveness or feel.

Anyone fitted the ABS double servo to improve braking ?
Does it work ? What is involved ?

It's scaffolded, he must be working on it !

Did they move back to the same position as 200tdi and previous ?

You can buy multiway connectors from any of the big electrical retailers.
Buy a male and female and cut the connector off the main harness where the rear connects, fit the new replacement where the old was and then fit the other new connector to the trailer cable.
Then you are plug and play with a new waterproof connection.

Changing the vanes in a 200 vacuum pump is an easy and inexpensive job 👍

Hi Mike
I don't think it does specifically unless you're referring to wastegate creep which it does by not opening until boost pressure exceeds the spring preload pressure.
I find boost climbs smoothly to the set maximum pressure and then stops as It reaches its preset limit.
I'm no expert or connected in any way.

I would have to disagree Stephen, I would say they are just adequate heaters if correctly set up.

I have a new car for my 60 mile round trip commute. I have no interest or enthusiasm for it, I don't wash it and nor do I hoover it, that gets done at its annual service. Its just a tool for transport.
I do get enthusiastic about my 90 though, it's everything the car isn't!

I use a boost valve to control my boost as it saves lying across the engine trying to adjust the threaded rod. Cap head on the left side of it adjusts boost.
I used this one because it looked suitably agricultural, its British and it was cost effective (cheap 😉)

I don't know who Gary Pusey is ☹ I feel so inadequate now 🥺

On mine (it was owned by a friend at that time before I bought all the bits) the body was so rotten it wouldn't have survived being lifted off in one piece ! The tub was white powder, the bulkhead wasn't really attached to anything and the lower halves of the doors were just holey aluminium skins 🤣

I too had this issue - and came up with quite a good solution, although it does require a lathe and a press to make!
Make two washers, about 5mm too big diameter to fit in the core plug hole, with an 8mm hole in the middle.
Using a steel ball, press the two washers to form dishes (a bit like a small wok).
Weld an M8 bolt to one of the washers (making sure the weld is waterproof) with the threaded portion sticking out of the hollow side of the dish. Then use the other washer to form a sandwich in the shape of a 'flying saucer' - with the end of the thread sticking out of the top washer.
In a lathe, turn down the rim of the saucer such that it just fits in the hole in the block. hold the end of the thread with mole grips and tighten a nut, pulling the two dishes flat. This causes the circumference to expand and jam in the hole.
It worked brilliantly and I was able to fit it without removing anything.

I love that Si ! 😯

This was a very nice restrained example we encountered when we did Coast to Coast last month.

Welcome Lexguru,
Did you test drive it before you bought it ?

Looking forward to all the purchase threads 👍😁

Well, I don't think the power steering pump is at fault, the noise is still there with the belts off. So the only other thing I can think of that could be making a squeaking bearing / belt noise at the bottom front of the vehicle would be the timing belt tensioner 🥴 that's only been in there since last August !
Oh well 🤬

Fitting an ABS servo to non ABS system

Thanks Mike. It helps but I'd like to use off the shelf Defender bits and I'd like to know that it would work with those bits and that it would be more effective, hence the desire for feedback from someone who's used those parts.
