Just getting back to tackling the buggy again. Well on the way now with engine in, half the wiring now done, brakes and clutch cylinders and lines all in place, BUT the brand new Land Rover clutch master cylinder just doesn't pump the fluid even with no outlet pipe connected. Has anybody any...

I've been searching the forum regarding the IVA fuel tank issue. What's the latest? has anyone got a Freestyle through IVA yet? I have the extinguisher tank waiting to be fitted in the rebuild, do I have to make it a completely enclosed compartment within the engine bay or has anybody got any...

Hi, we're back on the buggy project now and have just fitted and bled the braking system. All our pipes, cables, wiring etc are under the car in a 3"x1" channel. Works well so far! Our next challenge is the wiring, which we have some of with the old loom, but many ends have been chopped of or...
