Freel2,

A friend of mine asked me my opinion so I decide to post it here.

Flush the brake fluid every two years

Brake Fluid
ATE Type 200
Dry Boiling point 280C
Wet Boiling point 198C





Bushings

Replace with ATE or any quality name brand




Grease for bushings

Do not use a petroleum based grease it will swell the rubber and the brakes will stick on

Not going to argue over any of your recommendations other than the brake fluid flush. You could be throwing away perfectly good brake fluid. Any competent mechanic should be able to check on the water content of the brake fluid and decide from that if it needs changing.

Excellent write up Paul, solid part choices! As for the flush, I have done it twice since owning my LR2.............my next flush will be with Motul 5.1 as I used it on a previous vehicle with very good success.


I did also replace brake lines with their stainless counterparts.
