Thread: Cable operated LT230 parking brake diagramme or workshop manual information.

It couldn't be too different to a D2 which has the LT230 and cable operated drum brake, so have a look at the manual for that.
Regards PhilipA

Thanks Philip

Unfortunately while it is the same brake assembly as the D2 and TD5 Defender, none of my manuals (D1/Defender/Perentie/RRc) go later than the mechanical linkage, and I have not been able to find one online any later than the ones I have in hard copy.

If you have a link that would be much appreciated.

P.S. I am missing the circlips and retainer for the park brake cable and cable shift H-N-L so the parts catalogue would be ideal so I know what to order.

Hi Diana,
This is the 3 pages covering the cable hand brake from my Defender WSM.
Is this what you need?
I could scan it later this week if that's better the the photos.

Hi Dave

Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately I need to use the cable linkage because of the length of the Isuzu MSA5 x 2 / LT230 in fact I need to get a longer cable made to reach the back of the transmission. If you know the 110 chassis, the back of the drum is only 40mm from the front lip of the cross member behind the transmission.

My RAVE disks wont read on my PC. (neither the Win 11 nor the Win 10 ones) I guess I need updated RAVE disks.

Diana, its been a long time!

I'm not sure if it is the same issue, but my RAVE will only work if it uses its own version of Adobe Acrobat - so any other versions which might be on the PC must be closed before opening RAVE.

The diagram in the Defender parts lists looks the same as the diagram in the Perentie RPS.

Thanks guys, but it seems all those have a shaft activated shoe expander exiting the backing plate half the way up (3 O'clock) on the RHS, the brake cable on the 28D LT230 I have has the cable directly entering on an angle from 7 O'clock on the LHS (below the speedo drive) with the end of the cable actuating the shoe mechanism on the other side at 5 O'clock.

I'm just about to make my 4th RAVE purchase tonight, this one hopefully will have the D2 mechanism (but Dave's information is not clear, only specifying Discovery pre-update what ever that means). I'm a Series and Perentie person

The RAVE manuals I have are on CDROM and haven't been able to read them since before WIN 8.
