Either I posted this before and it disappeared, or more likely, I had it all typed out and technocripplely closed a browser tab after a preview instead of hitting submit
1987 MODEL YEAR LAND ROVER 110
Ok, for reasons, I've been roped into looking at the brakes on a landy. It supposedly wouldn't budge, but somehow it made it with great reluctance in low to somewhere undercover.
The main problem appeared to be the transmission handbrake being jammed up. This was confirmed after removing the rear prop.
After winding back the adjuster I was able to peek inside.
Rather dusty, but original looking riveted shoes. Expander mechanism stuck...
...and wobbling around due to 2 out of 3 parts of the locking plates being missing.
Shoes looking not to bad for lining thickness, but quite glazed.
Drum looks okay.
Front nearside disc is bollocksed.
Caliper is a wee bit seized.
Rear looks like it was done not that long ago. Nearside nicely oiled up. Offside dry.
Didn't bother looking at the offside front as I ran out of time. I've done a list and put in some orders. Hopefully they won't take too long to turn up and I can return to this. Besides the brakes, I think the main issue for a CVRT pass is going to be oil leaks...
