HI
I now own a SWB 1982 s3 County Station Wagon haveing previously owned a LWB Safari 1980.
Am restoring current model slowly although little to do. Having probs. with Front Brakes locking after being left for a while unused and in particular theoffside front locks. I suspect rust forming in the drums as the brakes are fine after the first few applications.

Have first French MOT next Friday so I am stripping the fronts this weekend but wondered if any one had experienced same or similar problems and whether my thoughts are possible

Ey oop chuck! Are you a man with an old Mini or are you the bloke who used to be Miniman when he was younger? :confused:
 
Bit of both I have 2 minis and have owned Minis for 31 years and until this year restored them. So yes I had one when young and now have two in my old age of 57

Huh - wish I was 57, that's young.[/quote
Young by name and Young by Nature, but, don't always feel young after being beneath a Mini bonnet so though I start restoring a Landy. Being short arsed I have to stand n the bumper and the back aches just as bad. I cycle 200 KM each week +/- dependant on weather and other work but the years pass so quickly.
