dantd5 Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Sold... does that include import/export costs? Editted to be more helpful.. I don't suppose you put the clutch slave on the wrong way? The bleed screw should be at the top... I did that mistake once when I changed the calipers on the brake system. So I learnt from that... thanks for replies guys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Dan, when I need to change either the slave or the master, I change the other too. It's a bit more work but it saves these problems. The old tired seals are often not up to the job of coping with new seals in the other part ! The master cylinder is not a difficult job if you take the pedal box out, stop posting on here and get on with it Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantd5 Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Thanks Mo for kicking my back! I'll get that done, Sir. I promise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Changed my master cylinder recently. I found it fiddly extracting the pedal box and inadvertently pulled and pressed the clutch pedal, out shot a slug of hydraulics just missing my face. I should have tied a bit of rag round it or blanked off the outlet first. May save a sore eye …… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I bought the pipe that connect the Master to the Slave cylinder. I wish sometimes a defender could be problemless....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CwazyWabbit Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Master changed and clutch bites like a shark...... I bet changing the master was far easier than taking the clutch out again Enjoy your Defender again now it is no longer for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantd5 Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Cwazy you are right there.... THe master was a wee bit compared to the main one. But I still got some brake fluid sprouting right at my arm ... Will try driving today after bleeding it up... Ohhh how I miss driving a macho truck rather than this Bimma I'm driving....

dantd5 Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 On a serious note from boots to high heels this is how it looked like inside.....This is why it was not biting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantd5 Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 The Master cylinder was completely knackered!! And the end bolt had tilted (I guess) so there was too much play hence little pressure on the cylinder. Glad I got this sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
