General Brakes

I will say one thing.

Driving down hill with a caravan on the back and your brake pedal on the floor is not nice.

I hope you changed your underwear after....!!!
I towed a trailer with car on back of it and it started snaking, foot down to 70mph to get it back staight and then over to the hard shoulder. The ties for the car had stretched and car moved back, I was truly staining my pants.

You were very lucky, you should never accelerate out of a snake.

I am expecting new wheel cylinders and calliper service kits tomorrow.

Well I managed to get 1 rear wheel done before the heavens opened 3 to go.

Other back brake done, more rain

I had to move from working on the MG TF on the drive to the MGB in the garage today as it started to rain steadily. Plenty to do on both. Luckily the Fiatis fine. Well except the radiator support bracket to replace before the MoT.

Advice used to be to accelerate, but now it is to slow down. I think both work, but if it all goes pear shaped at least you are not going so fast

Well managed to get the front done yesterday but ran out of brake fluid and light. Think there is still a bit of air in the system so will be having another go in a bit.

 

[madrat]

All done, no more air in the system.

They'll change it to something else, but I never towed owt since, my mates dad did alot of caravaning and thats what he told me I should do.
