    Thanks guys,
    Will get a new set today and try fitting over the weekend.
    There's been a lot of new fluid pumped through the system due to various lines and cylinders being replaced. Theres a couple of hard brake lines to finish off still. Being stored at a beachside town for many years (before i bought it) means the lines are quite brittle and rusty.
    I am going to give the landy a proper stripdown and rebuild once I get a couple of other non land rover projects out of the way !

    Thanks again.

    Peter

    Good luck with it, and I hope that you get it sorted soon. Echoing others, it does rather sound like master cylinder adjustment or blockage.

    Funny things, brakes.....

    I suspected as much after looking at your avatar

    Don't trust rusty pipes, even if it appears to only to be surface rust. One leak on a single circuit brake system and death-stalks!

    I know what you mean about the difficult ones; on my S3 I re-routed the front two to sit on top of the chassis rails and the LH one runs around behind the engine,

    Cheers Charlie
