Oops were you aware of the braking situation before attempting to stop?

Stopped OK on test drive, just handbrake didn't engage " spring broken M8".

Looked under when home and o/s/r appears to be missing the wheel cylinder, which would explain the shoes and brake springs in the boot

You've got to love honest sellers.

"You've got to love honest sellers."

Not 100% the seller did it. He's a mate at a garage who fixes things (cheap), £10 to re-gass the air con allegedly.

When we got to the sellers house he was out shopping in it, and turned back up with wife, sister in law and his kiddie (less than 12 months old, and in a proper baby seat). Would you seriously knowingly drive something with that fault ?.

Some people would yeah.

Got up early this morning and for some reason decided to try and improve the Cowley's appearance for a short while. I've obviously spent too much time watching hot rod uploads on YouTube. Broke out the Boiled Linseed Oil....


Of course, it won't stay shiny for long but I'm not sure I want it to.

WACIST!

just ask if they are Norman Wisdom fans.

Not many of the younger Albanians know who Norman is. At least none of those I spoke to when I toured there in 2018.

They are more likely to know who Romesh Ranganathan is, since he appeared on a few chat shows there. He is a bit of a cult figure there. That's "cult".

Used to be, but the lazy sod running the thread hasn't been bothering lately.

Needs moar Eddie peaks.

Fitted a new Electronic Load Detector to the fusebox in my CRV. The fault light went out straight away. Stayed out so I was thinking that's that done and dusted. Is it bollocks. Went to collect Mrs Tetley from a girls night out and the poxy light came on again. Alternator messing about then. Thing is, it doesn't make a blind bit of difference to the car. The lights are no brighter as you'd expect from over charging, no problems at all really.
Anyone got a decent CRV alternator for sale?

Found the problem with the brakes...
