    Thanks for filming that, am going to give it a shot in a few weeks,and see how I go!

    Thank you so much Phill for filming this and give some info about the working procedure. I changed last week the slaven cilinder and will do the master this week. Unfortunately my slave had the bleed nipple on the bottom and the pipe on top. I let someone push the clutch pedal and then I opened the bleed nipple, so the air came out with force/pressure. Worked quite well. My new master will arive today, I will work the same way as you, also remove the whole pedal box, paint it and drill the whole for the socket. I don't drive off-road with my 109'' tho. Keep up the great work man! All the best from Holland, Jan

    I love watching your videos, even though I'll never attempt any of them. Will take delivery on a 1979 Series III next month and have some anxiety about finding a local mechanic. People keep telling me any good mechanic can work on an old (restored) Land Rover but your videos make me wonder. If the local guy get stuck, I'll sit him down with your excellent videos.

    Enjoyed watching you do the work Phill, can't be many more jobs.on the list.

    • @steamwally

      Thanks, there is still quite a bit to be done mechanically.
      The steering relay needs changing, I had a go at jacking it out of the chassis but no go.... will let it soak for a bit and have another go some time.
      It could really use a new gearbox though, it's just so noisy and gets very wearing on a long run.
      Next job is to replace all the brake cylinders and flexible pipes.
      Phill.

    Didn't think about a faulty master clutch cylinder. I've ordered a slave and I'll keep you posted. I'm not mechanically inclined, so I'm doing my best. I may get a friend mechanics to help me. Your videos help a lot! I have a Spanish Lightweight, I can send you pics if you want

    Thanks for the video. I have removed my tower/peddle for refurb and new TRW master, may I ask what material you used to make the replacement tower to body gasket and where do you purchase? Thanks 👍

    Thanks very much for another insightful video. Have this to do this as part of my S2 rebuild but not having removed the old one it's great to have these helpful tips. For the hole you drilled in the pedal box you might find a large rubber grommit to prevent dirt and stuff from entering. Cheers

      Not a problem, making the videos is just another part of my interest in mechanical things.... it's always good to hear they are useful to someone.
      I believe the Series 2 has a slightly different arrangement for the clutch cylinders, there are various different set ups; though plenty have been fitted with Series 3 running gear.
      The grommet is a good idea, I used a standard cutter so finding one suitable should be easy.
      Cheers,
      Phill.

      Hi Phill,
      Yes I believe the clutch slave cylinder is on the other side of the transmission housing to that of your Series 3, but I would think a similar process to replace. I inherited my Series 2 project and all of the pedals were in a box in the back. Will be fun to finally get this all back together again.
      Cheers!

    Which grease did you use in the slave gator cover?

    • @steamwally
      @steamwally  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You should use red rubber grease with hydraulic cylinders and rubber seals.

    Do I have to press the plunger back in the slave cylinder?What is the Best way to do it. Cleaned all parts, but am having problem reinstalling plunger!

    • @kevinmaher1406
      @kevinmaher1406 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      We changed the master because the guy that works on it for him told him both never go out at the same time, I told him BS, it was both. we are rebuilding slave and having trouble with installing the plunger, Thanks.

    • @steamwally
      @steamwally  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Best replace both together, or so I was taught anyway. I didn't install seal kits, just changed the cylinders. If you are talking of just re-fitting the slave cylinder to the bellhousing, it should just slide over the pushrod without any trouble. Can you give any more details of the problem?

  • @afgamble
    @afgamble 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Having some problems with my Landy. Took it to my mechanic and he replaced the master clutch cylinder. Driving it, well, it got worse and worse. Took it to a second mechanic (30 years experience with series 3) and he couldn't figure it out. I have a new clutch and a new hydrolic line and still I can't put her in gear. I don't know what to do

      Hi Adam, sorry to hear your having trouble. Firstly, is the new master cylinder a quality item? I have heard a few tales of faulty new Britpart cylinders for example.
      How was the the system bled? It is possible to damage the piston seals by pressure bleeding if too much pressure is put on the reservoir, although it's rare.
      You could always try bleeding the system again, I have used the normal method in the past but a pressure bleeder on about 8psi works well.
      What sort of symptoms does it give - is the pedal firm or spongy or no resistance at all?
      Have you tried adjusting the master cylinder push-rod? If not, remove the clutch pedal box cover and have a go, measure where it was first so you can always put it back how it was if that isn't the trouble.
      Do you know that the slave cylinder is OK? It's generally good to replace both cylinders at once, some say that replacing one cylinder tends to take out the other. If the system is losing fluid then there is a good chance the seals have had it.
      After that, the only thing I can think of is to check the slave pushrod, I believe it's secured to the clutch release fork by a plastic clip - having removed the slave cylinder, you should not be able to pull the push rod off the release fork. If you can, it's a gearbox out job to put it back.
      Good luck, hopefully it's nothing more than simple adjustment required.
      Phill.

    Pity you spoiled a good informative video by telling others to use PTFE tape on a taper sealed joint ,totally out of order, this was a bleed screw not a thread sealed joint. I see it far too often when it could cause more leaks than it solves.

    • @steamwally
      @steamwally  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Fair enough - though the tape isn't on the taper. The clutch hydraulics on Series 3 Land Rovers can be a pain to bleed and eliminating air leaks at the threads during the process can make a difference. I have tried with, and without but each to their own.
