Excellent video! This is not a difficult job, but does take a lot of patience, I found I needed to make up a lot of special spanners to get the various fixings , I also had to do the job twice as the new master cylinder had a crack in the inlet port, so I got better at it the second time around, I know it is too late now , but it would have been a good idea to replace the slave cylinder at the same time, mine is a 2003 and both were less than perfect, I also replaced the master cylinder with the small bore type which makes a bit difference to the clutch pedal operation, replacing the slave cylinder requires multiply sizes of spanner, and is a real test of patience!

Your videos are very helpful to me I’m building a defender 110 at the moment just got my new galved chassis and bulkhead I feel out of my depth and your videos help thanks
Hi at first I used one of those self bleed devices but did not get good results . I eventually persuaded my wife to help me and after a while the job was done , I found this took a lot of bleeding so if you are doing this job be patient it takes some bleeding . Good Luck 👍
remove the cover that is under bonnet, with in that there is the rod with 3 nut on one of the nuts is a locking nut loosen this then adjust accoringly . I had to modify a spanner to do this ,. This is all from memory I know it was short while ago but it was one of those jobs I hoped to fit and forget. Thank you

It’s possible to change without taking the foot peddle frame off. I did it by bending a ratchet spanner. Nice video.

Thank you That is my dream to build a defender. thank you and good luck.
Great video as usual, have to do mine soon, would loveto borrow your assistant
How did you bleed the brake fluid?
Hi at first I used one of those self bleed devices but did not get good results . I eventually persuaded my wife to help me and after a while the job was done , I found this took a lot of bleeding so if you are doing this job be patient it takes some bleeding . Good Luck 👍
if you are looking for the bleed nipple it is on the right hand side of the defender above the clutch slave cylinder . Thank you
Did you readjust the freeplay?
Hi yes slightly I think it could do with just a bit more adjustment . You know Fine adjustment if that is at all possible. Thank you
@@TD5PRESERVATION-1428 how did you adjust it? 140mm from floor and +/-6mm play in pedal?

@@TD5PRESERVATION-1428 13mm spanner right?
@@garthbawden5550 But you will find it much easier if you grind the spanner with very narrow "jaws" it make the job much easier.
