Degsy Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Sounds like it might be leaking into the Hydrovac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul connor Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 i hope not, thats one item i have not worked on, but alas, i may be an expert soon... im taking the ol girl to my work (just across the road) and taking the wheels off and cleaning all the wheel stations and checking everything.. hopefully find the prob, as there is nothing better than a warm and dry workshop rather than a field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul connor Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 Well im getting there, slowly! I have got all the brakes ready for the repair kits that should be in the post by now, so a full cup replacement on all cylinders as well as master repair kit. Fingers crossed! Also she is all sanded down ready for the Deep bronze green repaint. also have been on the interior stuck all the roof pads back up(i give it 10 days!) and have been trying to fix all the little bits you miss and paint as much as i can... Also have kinda struck a deal at work! so i should be able to (fingers crosses) if the MD is kind, buy 200litres of 4star for £50! now i have said that it wont happen! haha But this sat is paint day as well as brake overhaul . then its a full service and fluid change and lets all hope that she gets to OVERLORD and i shall see you all there! Could do with a spare Distributor if any one has one? or just arm and brush/contacts bye for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
