    Up to you. No particular advantage either way, although it really does not want to move in the bracket.

    managed some more time in the shed this weekend, progress, albeit slow, on the brakes.

    all drum brake screws are out which was a bit of a battle, now i'm onto pulling the hubs off which i'm going to have a go at tomorrow.

    i did find one of no doubt many suss 'upgrades' in the right rear brake line - a new improved flexible hose from axle to hub.

    I also got a better look at the rear end, and the 'AEON HOLLOW RUBBER SPRING's fitted where i'm guessing the normal bump stop would go. Does anyone have any knowledge of these? I googled them and the cover of their catalogue features a tractor, which fits where this S3 came from.

    I'm keen to get the wheel hubs off and have a look - the manual says the rear ones are removed by twisting and levering off, mine seem stuck fast - any tips would be appreciated.

    I assume you mean the hub cap? These should be a tight push fit, and can usually be simply levered off (or removed by hitting a rock etc on rough tracks), but if untouched for a long time may be additionally stuck with rust. Replacements were readily available last time I looked, as they are interchangeable for all Series Landrovers, so don't worry too much about butchering them.

    It looks like someone has sleeved the rigid brake line before fitting the flare nut. This would be to protect the tube from stones etc. but could trap & hold water causing rust which would be hidden from view.

    I have a brochure somewhere on the Aeon 'springs'. They were fitted to carry some of the load when you overload the vehicle (or the leaf springs are getting tired).
