Tips for installing & Bleeding
Use a pipe clamp / soft jaw grips on the flexi hose hose to retain the majority of Brake fluid
Bleeding the Td5 can be a little awkward, if you think there is air in the system, you can wedge the clutch pedal down over night to allow the air to rise to the top of the system.
On the Defender if you need to increase clearance; this can be done by adjusting the master cylinder pushrod to move the pedal assembly further away from the bulkhead increasing the stroke
