Help,
I am rebuilding a SWB 2A 1964 Landrover.All brake lines brake cylinders and master cylinder have been replaced with new.My problem concerns air trapped in the brake lines. There is no leaks but I am unable to get rid of the air. It's almost like it is been sucked in? I have tested the master cylinder just in case, but it is not the problem.Can anybody help please?

Hi David

Not being an expert at this, but having just
bled the brakes on my Disco I wonder how
you were bleeding them.

Are you using a proper brake bleeder there
very cheap my only cost £5 but it has a none
return valve so air CANT get back in.

Other people use a simply plastic pipe with
one end ina jar with the pipe end covered in
brake fluid???

Just a thought
