    It's a 2000 Fender TD5

    So it seems no-one else has been confronted with the same scenario. There's no way I'm going to pay $7k for a new modulator.

    Maybe or maybe not the flush will work. Anyone had any experiences with actually fixing one of these boxes?

    I believe that you can retro fit components as long as the component that you change to is offered on the model year of your vehicle in standard production.
    IE You can change air bags to springs in a Range Rover Classic without an engineering report but you cannot fit springs to a 38A without an engineering certificate. AFAIK The product has to be offered somewhere in the world.
    This is why Graeme Cooper for example does not offer springs for 38A.

    Similarly I believe I am OK taking the anti roll bars off my 92 , as they were an option in production and were not standard in production. They were fitted to all Australian cars but not to the base model in UK or the "Hunter" in US and probably not on any Range Rover vans.

    So the question is , was the model in question offered with normal brakes anywhere?
    regards Philip A

    Its happened a few times even the boys on the d2au site have had a few failures... Its an occasional scenario... Not too common....

    4x4 Design and Engineering rebuilds these units.

    Fault is caused by siezing inside valve, more regular flushing of brake fluid seems to prevent this issue.

    Cheers
