well on sunday i had a nice trip to north devon to pick up a glasspack exhaust for the bus and damn its nice and loud
then on monday i did a few things to the bus and also started the cab door cards
and on tuesday i thought sod it, lets take it for an mot. so started her up down the drive and away and i kept thinking to myself what have i forgot as all i kept thinking was, will the handbrake hold, have i dont all the welding, are the tyres ok etc.
when i got there it went up on the ramps, making sure he didnt go to high
and back down
all is good, one advisory was the front steering had very slight play in so made a mental note
then onto the rolling road and the handbrake held the rear brakes were solid and onto the fronts
held perfectly but when exerting light pressure as if you were stopping slowly it was pulling to the left, so it failed on uneven brake balance on the front., which was ok as its was nothing to harsh.
so went home and went to work on the brakes, but couldnt suss it out as everytime i adjusted them it was the same story, so left it over night and had a think and wallah it came to me.
either a seized cylinder was cause the brakes to grab or some brake fluid had soaked into the pads and make them like superglue. so went back down to garage, this being 10:30pm and stripped the drums and 2 cylinders had partially seized and the pads looked a bit manky.
today i rang gsf first thing got 4 new cylinders and pads and gave the drums a major clean and low and behold it works, so rang mot station and got in back in before it could go wrong and i got a GREEN CERTIFICATE
WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
