Allan pig Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) Hi can anybody tell me what brake fluid goes in a Humber pig eg dot 4?,also transfer box is engaging into 4 wheel drive/ normal gears but nothing happens when letting the clutch out, but moves when letting clutch in and out erratic , bearing in mind this vehicle been stood for 4 years? Thankyou Edited June 27, 2020 by Allan pig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Allan yes I just used DOT4. I assume the second question is not linked to the first, as there is no clutch fluid. The clutch withdrawal mechanism is merely a chain from the end of the pedal. So I would remove the split inspection panels over the foot pedals & inspect the chain to ensure it hasn't broken or rusted up. Some Mk2 Pigs were modified with a slightly more robust mechanism than just a chain, but even these still stretched or broke. PS I assume the wheels are free to turn & the brake shoes are not stuck on? Bear in mind the hand brake is not on the transmission but a mechanical linkage to each wheel cylinder.
