not quite

6th May, 2006 by Jonathan

The bad news: one of the rear wheel brake cylinders has siezed, so failed the MOT. My concerns a few weeks ago were founded, I should have known better than to just back off the adjuster on the brakes.

The good news: everthing else was fine! New tyres fitted, running well. New cylinders ordered and re-test booked.

Follow-up bad news: decided to check the fluid levels after a decent back from the garage with the heater on. The coolant plug came off suspiciously easily. Turns out the body of the thread was still in place, just the top of the cheap British Leyland plug had come off.

Total… £816.69
