Yep, same as civvy ones.

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

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linkages - countless buts of varying quality (some very nice with bronze bearings - some not) which could have been replaced by a cable with one adjustment point only - and all those nuts and bolts that can only be accessed with an open ended spanner - which must be the slowest tool to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 , rods may wear, but you can bend them again and get home, that's Land Rovering

I remove it from the chassis and the cable tie to the floor so it doesn't impede rust protection and further work to the chassis.

Dear Les,
Many thanks. I am new at this forum lark and it is quite pleasing and refreshing to know that people out there are prepared to help like this.
Oh, and don't be to hard on Ralph, at least he gave me nice smile and a welcome to the forum. I would urge people to read his post about funding (I assume the problem still stands).
Thanks again.

Hello there.
I was wondering if any one knows the part number for the Turbo Boost Diaphragm on a 2.5 diesel turbo DPS pump.
Or perhaps more importantly, who supplies them.
Best wishes to all fellow L-R owners. B)
Chassis repair tips?

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................
