no no, its a shame YOU arent closer !!!

got the rear flexi hose off today before it got dark That was a faff, couldnt undo it, broke the hanger - does that come off ? How ? Anyway, cant find anything wrong with the hose. Looks good, can blow air through. Will put a new one on anyway and continue. Going back to g-clamp the pistons...

Im sure its not legal to sell dodgy brake parts, but no-one seems to give a toss

I's a been a eezi bleedin pedal pumpin up an down my temper thumpin

Cylinders sorted - problems persist - anyone reckon it could be a brake hose ? I'l change the rear one anyway. Getting good at bleeding now :(

yeah, point taken, in a loony bin called Hitchin

in a hurry for mot, so got a replacement pagid from eurocarparts, they accepted my comments about wasted hours and brake fluid, got a5litre bottle of dot4 out of them for nowt. Always worth a moan. Bled loads, no air. Still need to pump the pedal :( Cant see anything wrong with the shoe...

You'll use plenty of tools if you run an old landy

rust, rust, faults, and rust. Plus see what your insurers think of it, may not quite be old enough for them to consider it a "classic"

Excellent ! Where do I get one ? Whats it called ? Who wants to let me have one - swap 2 mars bars and some failed brake components (see my recent threads)

Will look into this any other ideas chaps !

sounds like a proper make - Girling/Lucas - where to get some quickly ?

I think I've found the problem causing me to endlesslessy bleed the brakes- a brand new Pagid wheel cylinder is leaking. The supplied bleed nipples are a poor fit in all of them The whole lot might be going back tomorrow Can people recommend a good make to buy asap please

On a similar vein, is there a roll bar/cage that fits inside the hardtop of an 88 ?

Halfrauds are flogging theirs "half price" again, good tools for not much more dosh than utter ****e

I agree with both the the above if chem metal doesnt work then replace it with a second hand one

Go for the thinner one - 10w40. If it burns loads rather than laking it everywhere then next time try 15w40

I dont think there will be a problem Provided properly cleaned-primes-painted, the paint will stick and stay there. Remember house numbers painted on to the galv dustbins we all once had - they stayed on

evilbuy is generally a good place to sell a car. Its a great place to sell a ropey one.
