    Check your brake lines before its too late.

    I got my 14yr old to pump the brakes while i bled them . He wanted to get back to whatever he was doing on his puter. I left them in a scary condition and today drove many miles with the brake pedal non responsive untill it gets half way down , then lots of bite . I want to wait till it dries...

    Where do you buy the pipe ? Do you buy the pipe from the motor factors as and when you need it or do you invest in one long coil ? Thanks .

    I might just buy that from my local factors . They have that same kit for €44.95 ex vat . I did get one made up yesterday €30 plus another tenner for a new flex hose because they could not be seperated .

    Thanks . I had to google that , never heard of them . I found an Irish site that sells them . Very pricey for very rare usage . This stainless tool seems to me to be better value for money :confused: 02727500 Flaremaster2-Stainless Steel Pipe upgrade kit

Yesterday on the way out of the city approaching a roundabout at the end of a 100kmh dual carriageway and some ***t in an astra estate right up my arse . I got to the roundabout...

    New rad where to buy

    Best check the yellow pages or use the power of gooooogle FELTHAM RADIATORS-SMALL BUSINESS FAMILY . I took my knackered rad to a local guy who makes them up . I rang before I left and he had one made up when I arrived an hour or 2 later .

    Looking sorry for its self

    Water can also get into the screw holes on the metal trim that hold on the plastic trim over the door . Getting the plastic off to check is hard to do without breaking a lug or two . You could spray a can of silicone spray onto the rubber seal . The silicone makes it like new and I think...
