Thanks Red90, much obliged. I will give it a go this weekend.

How well does your 6x6 stop? Maybe I am expecting too much - my 130 Defender stops brilliantly, but I guess it weighs a lot less. I will be interested to know how your brakes are after the master/booster swap. Cheers, Paul

They won't stop as good as a 4x4 Paul, but they will stop effectively. Mine stops fine although the pedal is a bit lower than I would like but it is a lot heavier than a 4x4 so I accept that. A new master and booster and a higher pedal will make me feel better.

If only you guys had driven these with drums on the rear....than you wouldn’t be questioning the braking ability.
