question HELP needed please BEDFORD MJ

[turtle2107]

:nut: Hello all,

 

Can anyone help, I own a 1984 Bedford MJ motorhome which has Goodyear bargrip tyres on.

 

Trying to find out the correct tyre pressures to run them on for Tarmac use.

 

Does anyone of you amazing lot know,

 

Please help

 

Also having brake balance probs with them being snatchy and pulling to the left,

 

plus transfer box pops out of high low ratio on deceleration.......:shocked:

Just a couple of ideas to keep you going until the pros come on line :

 

Brakes - the brake servo has two reservoirs, one for each of the two lines, one line operates front right and rear left, other front left and rear right. Is one short of fluid?

 

Transfer box - if you are really lucky (:cool2:) the actuating linkage may not be adjusted correctly, preventing detent ball on actuating lever on transfer box from engaging. Try removing pin from control rod / lever going into transfer box and see if you can move the lever into a detent position, then adjust linkage to suit.

Thanks N.O.S.

 

Was going to check out the linkage for the transfer box,

 

Just changed the master cylinder and seal kit for the actuator,

When you bleed the brake, the front resevoir goes down when bleeding the back brakes and vicer-versa for the front brakes,

 

I do hear that the brakes on Bedfords can be troublesome to get balanced right

Don't take what I said about brake lines as gospel - don't have my manual to hand tonight!

 

I'm certain the front axle disconnect shaft is on detents, but not 100% sure about the high/low lever without looking at manual. Best way is to disconnect rod and play around to see where the lever wants to sit.
