Its official, Im no longer an off road virgin. Had a great day it opened my eyes to what these things can do even with these tyres and totally standard.
Got a fair bit of sideways driving today And had to get toed because of ground clearance ha haa. PHEW!!!
Now unfortunately I need your help as there was an issue I lost my brakes
: (
There was brake fluid (in the mud) around the front drivers side wheel. Long storey made short we made it back to the road using the low box to keep the speed down and got recovered home by the magic of the RAC. We initially all thought a brake line had been pulled out but when we got the Disco on the recovery truck I had a look underneath, I couldnt see very well because of the lack of light and all the crap underneath but Im sure it was the metal pipe (not the brake line) that is attached to the calliper. (Pictured)
Just wondering what your ideas are, if any. If it is just this part can this be replaced or is it a new pair of callipers job?
Cheers, its not put me off looking forward to my next go
