Hi all, Landroverace.com is my website, i havent updated it for a while cause i have been building 4wdcentral.com.au which is the other site that was quoted.
I did the vac pump fix on mine after another LR owner did it to his defender, he had done 10000km on his when i did mine and now i have done over 10000km with mine with no problem at all, brakes need bleeding again now but still stop really well, you could feel the difference in the pedal as soon as i refitted the pump and bled the system, felt like new. I was hesitant aswell, but thought what the hell its gunna save me $500 dollars so lets give it a crack.
I cant see it being a problem with insurance unless it is the cause of the failure, and unless the end blows off it, which given the 6-8 bolts holding it on, it will only slowly leak again, meaning its no worse than it was before and then the brakes will just fade and loose efficiency.
Go for it, it works fine. Matt
