  1. what about tieing some string to it then pulling it back out, it doesnt matter if the string gets damaged does it? and it would be easier to pull back thro then, unless of course the string got welded to the chassis :D

    I've known looms get snagged pulling them back through, but you don't know about it until they melt and fuses start blowing.

    It's OK if you know the state of the inside of the rails, otherwise................

  2. Bought a new master cylinder, about £55 fron County landrover in taunton. Fixed the problem, but this is a tricky job for anyone thinking of taking it on! I had to mutilate 2 of my spanners with a grinder cutting one in half and grinding down the jaws of another just to make it fit in the channel one of the nuts was in. That kind of aggro was pretty much the theme of the whole job, and bleeding the system without an assistant was hard work to finish the job off.. Took me about 6 hours in all, including tea and swearing breaks. Sure I've saved a few notes at the garage though, that is why I bought the thing after all!

    If you remove the pedal box from the vehicle and use a tube in a bottle with a vent (ie: a home made easybleed (about £6 in shops I think)) to bleed you'll get the job done in well under an hour with not a bad word to be said. Oh, as long as the pedal box bolts are rusted or stripped :angry:

    PS: Don't re-use the bled fluid.

  3. Talking about complication - what about the Series accelerator linkages - countless buts of varying quality (some very nice with bronze bearings - some not) which could have been replaced by a cable with one adjustment point only - and all those nuts and bolts that can only be accessed with an open ended spanner - which must be the slowest tool to be used when making the things.

    Cables break :angry: , rods may wear, but you can bend them again and get home, that's Land Rovering :rolleyes:
