UMM..... Portugal?

Firstly, if even I can bleed brakes, it can't be that hard. And that'd be the first thing I'd do. 

 

'Course, it could be that you've got glazed and/or shit-quality discs and pads, so I'd swap your fronts as my step two.

 

And obviously do the same with your drums - I'd not be at all surprised if their linings were falling to bits and/or the drums themselves are scored/pitted/made of cheese. 

 

To replace the entire braking surfaces (pads, drums, linings, discs) would only cost you £200, maybe a good deal less, and take you maybe a morning, but it would involve you doing mechanicing stuff. On the upside, you'd feel like Edd China once you were done.

The UMM has been cut off at the back - it should be about 18 inches longer than it is.

Because departure angle. #YOLO #letsoffroadwithstragglybeardsandquestionablechoiceofanorak

I am not even going to attempt to fix the brakes myself.  I have learned from the past that I can't fix cars, and tend when I try to fix them to make them worse than they were before I started.   For me to attempt to fix a safety critical item on a car would be a bad idea.  Also, as I am self employed, it makes no economic sense for me even to try to fix cars.

 

One of the UMM's exhaust hangers has fallen off.  I have fixed that with some webbing for now, and could fit a metal strap in due course, but that sort of thing is about my limit.

The transfer box works.  I have OVROADED YO  (on one of the few local tracks that is motor-legal).

 

Also, I stopped to say hello to a local Series 2a that is delightfully faded.
