mot man out foxed
Evening,just to let you know "doris" passed her annual medical today despite the leaky wheel cylinder(cleaned up before test).
Was well surprised when the missus rang to say it'd passed.(although the low cut top and tight skirt mighta helped).Was really expecting the worst or at least 1 advisory , however flew through ,woop woop!!! So now I find myself with a free weekend, might get the old mg out for a bit of a play. |

Great news it passed but should the brake cylinder be changed? brakes are kind of handy most of the time. If it's leaking it's on it's way out so probably a good idea to get it fixed as soon as so that you and others are safe.

was more of a weep than a total leak, but had contaminated the shoes,brakes are absolutely spot on,even better now the handbrakes been adjusted (first time in 3 and a half years).

The first sign that a wheel cylinder is about to let go is the weeping in the rubber boot.
So you know about this and you're letting the Mrs drive around in it.... Get it done today or tomorrow |
