Well said! I've got more ahead of me getting that RH accumulator out, and putting new rubber through the rear suspension hydraulics to reinstate the self-levelling suspension.
Believe me, I've been super careful. I'm paranoid of covering, then somehow having some seep under the covering. More to come. I've got to remove the RH accumulator...
Your pump is most likely air locked. The piston inside the pump is only pushing air. Also, u need to bleed the front system from the accumulator under the engine. If no fluid comes out when you try to bleed the system, u know 100% your pump is air locked, or no fluid getting to the pump
Watch the video again, from start to finish. Your advice indicates you haven't paid attention for the most part. I do like your advice to check pushrod travel. 👍
@@jl991825 I am starting to following RR repair issues because I am thing about buying a 1977 to 1980 Sliver Warith 2. I want to know what I am getting into. I have been working on cars since 16. I sold my 1990 420SEL Mercedes (loved it). I just don't want to get over my head as far a cost.
have you checked out rollsroycenut? he's got some good repair videos. In my opinion, the "specialists" don't want you trying to fix your own car, so you get a lot of doomsayers. I'd look for one that has not sat around for a long time - its the rubber components that you need to worry about.
I'll have to see if I can get a couple. Strangely, there is only two... I'm going to do a follow up video as I have since discovered what set off this chain reaction of failure. It's going to be interesting...
Also, never circulate fluid within the system with torn or no filters at all. Your efforts will be wasted since the contamination within the system is not being stopped by the filters. This is the last defense within the system.
Bleed your pressure switches. They hold air and will not accurately work. Also, "pumping" the brakes is not a good idea since the system ihas no master after 1974.
Thank you for your interesting comment. I described with great relief the fact that I had the opportunity to return to the workshop after a brutal summer which had killed two of my grand old trees. This short commentary was placed into the intro, to help explain why I hadn't posted a video for a while. I hope this additional context makes sense, and I thank you for watching 😀
Very interesting. I wondered what was inside the reservoir. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! I'll be working on the brakes again soon as I've since discovered the root cause of the whole brake fail situation! Stay tuned!
Good video on a rather tough subject. The complexity of the Shadows never ceases to amaze me
Good work and bulk patience - apparently

well done mate - i feel your pain
Thank you. I have an episode 2 coming up. It's still not fixed.
great video You should cover all the paint work where you are working that stuff is paint remover

Excellent video. Nice detail
Glad you liked it! There's more to this sad tale unfortunately.

And a flare nut wrench set.
Got these. Don't have the crows feet
I purchased three brake reservoir filters from Albers in USA for USD70/each. You only have 2 filters? Thank you for showing us inside the reservoir.

Earlier Shadows with a master cylinder had 3 filters.

Makes sense!
Buy yourself a set of crow's foot wrenches.
These will come in handy when I try to remove the RH accumulator assy.

Righto.
Why are you talking about the weather and your trees in a video about cars?
