I think I will be there, currently contemplating the 6 hour round trip as its quite a long way would only be doing the sunday however as I have zero camping things and a 3 hour trip home on a hangover isnt going to be fun! 

Anyone going up sunday morning from Eastbourne/south east area?

After trying to sort an electrical problem since Friday (I had scheduled to have solved the problem by the end of Friday), I've finally sorted it today (I think).

 

Before that, I found that my hubs binded on my discs, which I had to sort. Then I found that my calipers binded on my discs, which I had to sort.

 

Now, I've just found out that my brake master cylinder is blocked in one of the inlets/outlets, which means no fluid is going to the front brakes.

 

My MOT is on Wednesday.

 

Which I'm now considering to reschedule to Thursday.

 

Still left to do: Rebuild my master cylinder, fit it, bleed my braking system, fit a heat shield for my catalytic converter, seal some holes in my floor, fit my interior, refit my dashboard, fill the car with coolant, paint wheels, re-polish wheels, get tyres fitted, set caster, camber, and toe out, adjust headlights, drill holes for new grille and surround, fit grille, fit bumpers, mould and fit side body trim, and pass MOT.

 

Then I need to wash the piece of ****.

 

Bets on whether I turn up to MITP in a 2000 Fiat Punto or a Red&White turd start here

My bets on the Ferrari In Affordable Trim

I had been eyeing up poo as the back up but there was no need in the end.

Good luck with yours dog.

I think you might be right Sam.. I just finished sorting the master cylinder problem, and filled up with brake fluid anddddddddd

 

Major leak at the banjo bolt and banjo for the driver's side brake hose. Brake fluid EVERYWHERE. All dripping off the subframe, all onto the floor. Tried tightening the banjo bolt, did nothing.

 

So.

[HARBER07]

So clean that damn brake fluid up before it wrecks your hard work!

Did you fit both copper washers?

 

Also if you've fitted braided hoses then they are handed, the one with the deeper thread goes on the drivers side.

They are braided. If this fixes it then you can come to our tent for private time on Saturday

Don't forget to check the copper washers, there should be one either side of the brake union, ie between the hose and the unions and then one between the bolt head and the union.
