Hardly surprising with those miles

Silver car has failed.as per usual the shitty rear brake calipers are a culprit and front to back brake lines excessively corroded and the real bombshell welding required to fill a hole at the front close to the jacking point.

Hope its doable.

Had a new caliper o/s/r got fed up with it sticking on.

It is becoming quite common for rust in this area, especially on later cars.

Mines gonna fail on the n/s/r caliper and horn (failed relay in the BCU I think), hopefully nothing else but I'll make full use of the 10 working days, 4 weekend days and 3 bank holidays days to sort it - it gives me an excuse to get out of the house over xmas - LOL.

the brake lines and caliper while annoyin wouldn't really have been a problem but the welding is a real hassle.i have a friend having a go at that weather permitting tomorrow .needed the car for the weekend as well but now going to have to do the other work on it and hook or by crook it needs to be back on the road by Tuesday night as I need it to get to Prestwick airport in the early hours of wednesay morning as we fly out to the canaries for a week ove Christmas.bah bloody humbug.cant even drag the grey car out and use it as its mot is overdue as well.
