So my brake pedal went down to the floor. We spoke to DiscoMike on the phone (thanks very very much for all your help). I'm pretty sure we've diagnosed only the master brake cylinder and not the brake booster.. there is a pretty blatant leak we found off it. So we have the workshop manual for the Disco.. and we'll be ordering the part from British Pacific. Does anyone know if the seals are included with it?

My major question is this- I don't know how to do it besides reading off of the manual. I've done small stuff before, radiator.. thermostat.. but never anything dealing with brakes. Can anyone give me a step by step? I'd really appreciate it. You can email me or post it here. Thanks so much.

Brakes aren't complicated or hard to do - just scary because of the potential consequenses of a ****-up. If you don't have them when you need them you're in a world of hurt!

1.) Take your time, noone does a good job when they rush.

2.) Make sure everything is scrupulously clean before you fit it (even test fitting something - clean it first)

3.) Follow the manual carefully and, most imoprtantly, if there's anything in the manual you can't understand easily ASK before bodging it and you'll be just fine.

Cheers,
