Great progress, Paul.
Where did you get the vent tubing? He says, having just spent rather more than he wanted to on some which might just do the job.

Hi All
Just had an update from the garage, after an major issue with the bleeding of the brakes, a new master cylinder curtesy of Tony fitted and is now getting MOT'D as i type, fingers crossed. Then back to the garage for some final finishing and hopefully back for the weekend.
Happy Days
Paul

Well done, I hope it passes! I've found bleeding the brakes does find any bad /soft seals in the master cylinder, I guess because it is the only time the piston travels the full throw.

Judging from the dvla, it looks like a perfect pass A good job, well jobbed! Oh thats good news i never thought of that looking on DVLA, i was expecting a call from the garage but they are a bit slow at getting anything donE, never mind a quick phone call or message Dave i haven't got the old cylinder back yet but when i do i will look into why it failed as it was suppose to have been relined and sealed at quite a price too, but the garage man noticed that the connecting shaft had been previously welded back together and he suggests it wasn't pushing straight, which when i looked at it i agreed it had been welded and his threory may be right, but it worked when i was driving it. Perhaps i put the connecting rod in upside down, i know it shouldn't matter but may be it did. Any way when i get the master cylinder back i will post any findings Regards Paul |
