Well my dad has ordered a new brake master and a vacuum pump for this, he suspects that they have faffed with the brake master. They decided to replaced it for some reason, after my dad replaced it. So he is undoing some of their shyte. They have practically threw another 1000 at this since its came back and its still not done
 all mileage. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Hind sight is a wonderful thing but I would have cancelled the caravan holiday and gone over it with them and got them to rectify all the faults before accepting it back.
That is a ridiculous amount of money for the work they have done and the quality of work. I know time and parts soon add up but come on I would want a immaculate build for that price |

your not wrong there, My parents had the holiday planned when this went in at the time, so they were well told that they needed the defender back way before August. MAP 4x4 / Spanner monkeys or who ever they want to be, were wanting to string the rebuild out till the September.
Also what doesn't help matters is my dad keeping his sodding gob shut, in stead of putting his foot down and challenged people. It bites me to see the state of the car, and my dad doing his money, and we are sorting out other peoples handy work. my buddies have all practically fell off the their chairs with shock when i told them. One of them said it looks like they have just used any old nuts and bolts to put that back together, to the point that they have killed it. Three others said that they should have sold it on as a spare repair and gone either TD5 like i did or a late Puma. I did have this conversation too with them, showed them some defenders on here for sale at the time too.
