    Hi all,

    thanks for the answers. I attached a picture of the "rotary exhauster", maybe somebody finds one somewhere, just let me know or I'll keep and eye on ebay.co.uk

    ummmm...make that "I tried to attach a picture but it won't work". It's on p.161 of the Autobooks OWM895 for those who are interested.

    Cheers,

    Thomas

    Tomkah,

    I have power assisted brakes on my Series III SWB (petrol) if you would like to drive it to compare with your non assisted brakes. PM if interested.

    andrew,
    forgot you had one, You mentioned it ages ago with the engine cleaning oil post. ( CEM)
    I had mine out a couple of times. ( two engines) But only once for a rebuild , get this, the pump and O ring were fine it never leaked, prior to the rebuild or after it.The engine mounting hole was worn and had to drll it out to put a bigger bolt in it, bugger of a job. But always worked never had a problem with it.
    Funnily enough the auto elec that did the rebuilt said the same, in his opinion very reliable units. ( you shire-ites would probably know him he is at menai, really nice bloke)

    john

    Talking Bigger brakes for S3 SWB ute

    My 1972 swb had brakes that wouldn't have stopped a kid's trike on flat ground. I rebuilt the original equipment completely without any significant improvement. I then fitted the 12" x 3" front brakes from a 6 cylinder, replaced the pipes without all the odd LR bends that make them impossible to bleed and fitted a master cylinder with a booster. The brakes are now actually better than my '96 Defender.

    I have a vacuum pump solution. They are available from the USA quite cheaply from (don't laugh, this is real) miamiambulance.com This mob do spares for the large Ford ambulances, as well as prosthetics, drugs and parts for your X-Ray machine if required. They do a belt drive oil-less pump that just needs Land Rover ingenuity to fit a bracket and a pulley to and off you go.

    Best of luck!
