Rear brakes will need to be adjusted if the drum slips on and off very easily. It should be a tight fit. Is it factory disc brakes or have you just done a disc conversion? Pics of the master cylinder?

hey mate there factory discs its a 82 and a single reservoir landcruiser master cyl

When you say "pedal is high but nothing is there", do you mean the pedal goes to the floor when depressed? Or are you getting a firm pedal but no bite? Adjust up your rear brakes (they are probably way out) and see if it improves.
