Steve Thank you! Off topic I have attached a couple of photos as requested. Del 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what had me foxed. The pedal was always firm until it wasn´t when the fluid ran out! Which fortunately only happened once just outside where I live. What I cannot understand is where the fluid disappeared to. We are not talking gallons I appreciate, but over time well over a quarter of a litre of hydraulic fluid has gone walkabout and there is not a trace of it anywhere. del Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the pic's , by all means keep them coming over time. Very interesting terrain and so good to see a Real Land Rover in it's home environment. Happy trails Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreePointFive Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 That heat shield and the mountings are elegant. I had a concern that my slave cylinder and pipe was getting cooked by the manifolds that were even closer than your pipes. I wrapped the cylinder in a malleable shield material and fed the pipe through a heat resistant sleeve designed more for wiring. Your solution is much nicer. I'd copy it if I had facilities.
