IMS Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Hmm losing brake fluid, yet finds it ok to work a car without 100% effective brakes. come again? The brakes passed an mot brake test with leak. as its the resevoir level. It will be found before put on the road? Ill strip it down, and report back in a few days. Had some 40s fitted to the rear wheels today as it had 40 front 45 rear. Progress cheers me up Hub should arrive tomorrow, drill out the caliper bolt holes and win on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScORTED Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 those wheels were never used on the road, although a previous forum user had them on his escort I did not advise towing it 60 odd miles and said in every advert it wanted trailering away. That said I'm not sure why I'm defending myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMS Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 its not the towing that bothers me and tbh im not that arsed in general, jus getting a bit tired of fixing rubbish on it that should of been right first time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
