TRW Servo is the original Equipment unit

Premier Servo is a Quality aftermarket unit we have sourced

LOF POWERboost servo kit to fit EARLY Land Rover 90/110/130 (Pre 300tdi)

Check list- Will this fit your Early Defender?

  1. Your Defender does not have ABS

  2. Your Defender has 2 pipes coming from the master cylinder (See product photos to confirm master cylinder)

  3. Your Defender is running a horizontally mounted master cylinder (See product photos to confirm master cylinder)

  4. Your Defender was made before ~ 1992

  5. Your Defender was originally a 2.5 NA/2.5TD/V8/200tdi

So what is it?

This kit allows you to remove your original Brake Servo, bolt on the LOF POWERboost ring to your brake pedal box and then install a later model, stronger ABS servo in its place, Part number SJG100240. Using this adapter from LOF, you can then re-mount a later style brake master cylinder to the later, more powerful, double diaphragm servo, leaving your resevoir/ cylinder in the correct orientation. By doing this you double up on the servo assistance given to the master cylinder, reducing pedal effort and vastly improving braking performance! So much so the testing so far has shown braking to be significantly better than even an ABS Defender!

The new brake servo part number SJG100240 does not have to be purchased from us, you can use a 2nd hand one or one sourced from else where, please ensure it is a Double Diaphragm servo (2 sets of crimpings) some of the cheaper ones appear to only have 1 diaphragm*

Tools needed to fit:

  1. 10/11/13/14 mm spanner

  2. 13mm socket + ratchet

  3. Flat head screw driver

  4. Pick / small screwdriver for removing a split pin

  5. Brake fluid + Brake lines

Additional parts needed to fit:

  • You will need a new 2 port master cylinder from a late ABS Defender (LR013017)

  • New brake lines made to suit

  • SJG100240 Late ABS Servo

Fitting Instructions:

Fitting this Early conversion kit to Land Rover 90/110/130 will require some re-piping of brake lines and is quite involved. Please ensure you have the facilities to make new brake lines and Capability for safely working on Brakes.

  1. Open the bonnet and identify the brake master/ servo position

  2. Remove the 2x rubber grommets on the side of the pedal box as shown in the diagram below,

  3. Remove the split pin, Washer and Clevis pin connecting the old brake servo to the Pedal arm

  4. Disconnect the vacuum pipe from the old brake servo- this simply pulls off

  5. Disconnect the brake pipes and drain the brake fluid from the master cylinder

  6. Undo the 2x retaining nuts (13mm head, M8) holding the brake master to the old Servo and remove

  7. Undo the 4x 13mm (M8) nuts holding the old diaphragm to the pedal box, and remove the old servo

At this point you are back on to assembly, take this moment to clean up the pedal box face/ any other easily accessible areas

  1. Take the new servo and the LOF POWERboost ring, place the Ring over the rear studs on the new double diaphragm servo, note there are 2 sets of counterbored holes, for this application you need to use the ones most forward, clockwise.

  2. Use the 2x M8 flanged nylocs provided to tighten the ring to the new servo, up to a torque of 25nm

  3. Take the whole assembly and install it back into the brake pedal box, add the 4x M8 cap head bolts loosely on the back to hold in place

  4. Asking an assistant to help, move the brake pedal until the holes of the servo rod line up with the hole in the brake pedal arm, and add the clevis pin back through, securing with the washer + Split pin. Re-fit the 2x access grommets

  5. Double check- now you should have the studs pointing out of the front of the servo, in the 10 O’clock and 4 O’clock position looking from the front!

  6. Tighten the 4x M8 cap heads holding the new servo to the pedal box, to a torque of 25nm

  7.  Using the 2 pipe Late ABS Master (LR013017), mount this to the new Servo using the standard O ring supplied with the servo, tightening the two M8 mounting nuts to 25Nm. You will then need to make 2 new brake pipes to go from the ABS Master to your Bias valve on the bulkhead, ensuring that you get the Front and back ports matched correctly.

  8. Bleed brakes thoroughly and check for hydraulic and vacuum leaks

  9. The Pushrod inside the brake servo comes pre-set, this can on the odd occasion necessary be adjusted manually using a 7mm spanner/ socket  to increase effectiveness of the servo/ reduce pedal travel. Note that the adjustment required is minimal!

Once finished, as you have been working on the braking system, please check your work again for safety

 

Notes:

  1. Please ensure you are happy/ competent and comfortable working on the braking system before starting

  2. You have now vastly improved your brakes performance and this will take some getting used to, please drive accordingly

  3. This is a performance modification which we have tested in partnership with independent specialists world wide, however it is your responsibility to ensure the kit is fitted correctly and safely, LOF is not responsible for incorrect fitting!

  4. Please enjoy this upgrade with care

  5. Please ensure the rest of your braking system is in good working order before starting
