Dave, don’t give up on your Landy! I have had a Series3 for the last 26 years. Yes they are a bit strange, but, like Sevens, they have their charms. The trouble with the brakes stems from the fact that the trailing shoes are hydrostatic. Mine bind in reverse at times when first applied, but I am used to this now. Just engage low range! However much I curse mine for it’s ‘funnyosities’, when it comes to heavy fetching and carrying (especially when the snow is yea feet thick) there is nothing to beat it. And being a diesel, it starts first time every time however long it is left or whatever the weather. My only real gripe is it’s a bit greedy withe diesel. 25mpg if you are lucky. 18 towing.
