Aghhhhhhh..brakes
 
I hate bl***Y brakes, Well Ash's brakes to be precise..
Still got a dodgy pedal. And before anyone says it,
NO there ain't any air in the system.

I'm not saying anything else for the moment..
But if he don't come online later tonight and say it's now ok.
I'm going round there tomorrow and do something nasty to his bottom:eek:

I had to leave him with it, swapping his stuff or mine.
So we'll wait and see......:rolleyes:

Apart from that, his car is looking good for the IVA.
A couple of clips and a bit of trim and I think it'll be ready.

What, apart from breaks, are you going to do to the car for a week?:D Don’t break anything.

Cheers Ginge

That's got to be just sooooo frustrating :(

I hope the pair of you manage to get to the root of the problem :)

Perhaps a change of MC will do the trick !!

Chin up lads :)

It's driving me mad....
But at least I can walk away from it.
But poor Ash..Think it's defo getting to him now.
Keeps saying "bloody car" Don't blame him at all.
He certainly got more patience than me

I can well imagine the somber mood ..... Nothing worse than a persistent niggling fault that defies logic :(

Yep, I bet Ash has a lot more patience than me ..... I would probably be spending the next month picking out brake components out of the brickwork :rolleyes: :o

At least the pair of you have a little time in hand before the IVA :)

Knowing Ash & how he likes things "spot on"

I too can imagine his patience will be wearing thin,

between yourself & Ash, i,m sure you,ll solve the problem.

If it helps, i have a brand new M/C ( not even had fluid thru it ) that i,d be happy to courier on "overnight" service to Ash, just shout if its needed.

when you solve the prob, you,ll be soooooo pleased with yourselves,

keep at it fella,s.:cool:

cheers

You can buy a new one Ash /Dogwood for £39, depends which type you have you may have to re route a couple of pipes. As Flynercle said before it can only be a passing seal on the MC:

He's got my MC and discs n calipers
Which I know work ok.
I left him fitting them,
so fingers crossed that he'll be online soon to say all fixed and ok

AshG 12th February 2010 11:00 PM

well its now got daves bedded in calipers and discs on it and the pedal is certainly better than it was. pedal is now solid about half way own. i have got a funny feeling because i had new calipers discs and pads it all just needed to bed in.

as for the master cylinder its a brand new one from brakes international. will have to see what dave thinks when he pops over tomorrow.
