405 fails MOT repairs in hand
As above the 405 Sri failed it's Mot on brakes. So immediate problem was why. On discovery this didn't work.

I was getting all the braking on the front, as as well as a seized brake regulator. The piece of brake pipe over the rear axle on that side had collapsed inwards as well so it would not bleed.

Next job will be new hoses all round as it would seem they are all starting to go. Apart from that the car is solid bodywork wise

Two in fact. I have two of them.
They get lots of love, if that's another term for costing a lot of money.

It's all relative I'm sure. Have you been charged £75 for plugging one in to a diagnostic machine to have a poxy light turned out yet?

No, but I've just paid about £500 for an MoT.

Ouch! Poor maintenance by previous owners or just a bit of bad luck with a few things stacking up at once?

Re: 405 fails MOT repairs in hand
Junkmans right a lot of love equals a lot of ££££s. I have also been working my way through the fuel pipes replacing the old slightly perished ones as well. Did the fuel filter as well as it looked a bit rough. It does drive better since I serviced it as well.
