Been fettling a few things while waiting for my test date in Manchester .One or two major issues.I took the car to a weighbridge just in case I needed to provide actual weights .
Weighed in at 740kg total 340 front and 400 rear with me in it and half tank of fuel.
On the way back I realised the ns rear drum brake was binding badly and very hot. No tools so I made it home. When I took the hub off the shoes were quite charred .I couldnt see any obvious problem so cleaned it up stuck everything back together and seems to work ok. Problem is if it happens again while its being tested then I am snookered so I need to solve the problem . Any ideas on tracks to follow please?
While it was up on the jack I found movement in the os wheel bearing so thats on the list for next week. Also sump has started leaking oil from the weld .
One step forward two back at the mo and IVA looming
