It's fierce annoying cause I find it near impossible to get lads to fix anything despite paying them. I also have no transport without it so I'm stranded at the house and the stock in the mart.

I backed up to the chutes and when I went to pull out the Jeep wouldn't budge out of reverse. Typically these things only happen at half 5 of a Saturday evening so I had to unload the trailer and abandon all there. A few lads suggested it's a slave cylinder that's lost pressure? Anyone encounter similar with a D4D Land cruiser?

I replaced myself in 20min with few simple tools. Was it hard to get into gear for a while before? There is usually a little resevoir possibly on bulkhead that feeds the system. If there is a leak this will be down and could/should have brought on a light in dash. Hopefully it's this and not your clutch. Did u get it home?

Tske off the seat, togive yourself a bit more room. There is an outer plate on each side, remove this. Tbe right hand side one has the hydraulic control quadrant bolted on, so loosen that also. Remove the expanders and clean them. You might need new steel balls( when they wear oval, they can causethebrajes to stick "on") or if you can find all new expander assemblies, all tbe better. Put in new disks as well. 2 each side. Hopefully the housing isnt too worn. All the pins and linkages under the cab should be removed and freed up, and greased. These are always seizing up.

She succumbed to a crack that’s been plaguing her for some years, a curse only held at bay by copious amounts of insulation tape. Today at long last, she calved. Luckily the farrier supplies van will be in my area on Thursday and can furnish me with a (ludicrously expensive) replacement. But what am I to do until then??? Ta-da. Yet more magical insulation tape and a few galvanized nails as splints. She’ll do fine till her younger sister arrives
