Range Rover classic - Brake servo issues and other pre MOT work - Lincoln Green Ep30

Hello and welcome back
In this episode I am running a tight schedule to getting the car road legal via a UK MoT examination.
This episode starts out all happy with sorting locks, interior fittings and getting the underbody sealed. Ends up with a very long (NOT spongy) pedal. None of my usual tricks were working. The issue cost me a load of time and brake fluid.
My "original" brief is to sort the running gear, axles and brakes. Then the car will move onto another specialist for bodywork.
Enjoy

If nothing else this is a perfect example of the difference between a mechanic and a fitter Nicely Done Richard.

Thank you very much 👍🍻

[@struanrobertson3417]

Going to be a nice honest example

What is more irritating is the mother hens dive bombing me whilst working and shitting all over the place. idyllic and ideal are some way different 🤡

A lathe is a useful thing to have in a restoration workshop.

[@churchhouseclassics]

Imagine my dismay when I found out that a local and suitable old school lathe was scrapped because it wasn't computerised 😲😪

Nice job on the servo! I’ve never been overly impressed with any version of Shultz, even if I clean it all thoroughly first I always find in a year or 2 the rust is speeding underneath it again. I like to clean and derust , then a coat of epoxy primer, then a good quality stone chip. Then more for aesthetics than anything I spray body colour. That makes the rust easier to see if it does reappear, but so far on the Stag- 4 years now- still no sign.

[@churchhouseclassics]

Must admit that I sort of agree. However in this case all surfaces were 100% rust free and also painted. The shultz went over the top and gets into the seams. It stays soft for a decade or so. BUT an annual check would be a must

Not sure how I come across this channel, maybe lanny stuff? Subscribed as soon as I heard the colourful language😂

Oh Lord, Yootoob finally recommending me! My subscription growth rate has been steady but slow. I am of course delighted that you are a new follower. There is plenty more to come and amuse

@@churchhouseclassics thanks for the reply. Hope this adds to the algorithm stuff

[@jagvette1]

love the explanation of dismantling the servo and not knowing you hourly rate would it be cheaper just to say FERK it and replace the servo ?

[@churchhouseclassics]

Refurbished servo is over £360 here. for a couple of hours work I am some way south of that. The kit to rebuild the servo yourself is iro £240 👍
