    This one was advertised on Facebook like this:

    " 88" Series 2a runs well $xxxx call or text. "

    So I did

    Yes she is going to help & she's quite excited about it which is good

    We'll see how she is after 6 months of brake bleeding though

    I have never had significant problems bleeding brakes on Series Landrovers - only been doing it for fifty years. A lot of the "bleeding" problems are actually other problems such as shoes that don't match drums or adjusters that don't stay put.

    X2. I got my s3 109 first go. Same with the s2a 109 when i had to replace a rusted pipe to rhf wheel a few yrs ago. If u do it right its easy. Minis are a whole different kettle of fish. Nasty little things...

    Cheers Rod
