Title: mot failure today
Post by: craftycarper on May 22, 2008, 19:26:10
This landy has been off the road for over a year now while i have been doing  odd jobs on it, including welding and then spraying it up. Any how took it up the road for the mot and she failed on offside wheel bearing and spongy brake pedal :'( gets her home and gets the wheel bearing sorted but do you think i can get the brakes sorted  :x round and round and round i go always to find that air is back in the cylinder where i started....now when i got this motor it had new linnings all round, new cylinders all round and i believe the guy had two masters on it within a month  before i got it, i have also stuck a new pipe section across the front x member and two new flexi hoses on the front. As i went round it for the last time this afternoon before giving up for the day i noticed that on the last rear wheel (offside) when i was bleeding it a whistling sort of noise was being emitted from the wheel opposite which i had just bled,whatever i do , nothing seems to work, i,ve got a half hard pedal that can more a less hit the floor if enough pressure is applied, it's a non servo model...
