Well, hows about you take said car for MOT it passes with an advisory on the drive shaft - then 200 meters down the road said drive shaft pulls itself out of the joint with no warning... 👿
perished tyre material is my guess.
careful how you pick it up, it'll be hot!

No it ****in' won't 🙁 Broken.
New one arrived on Friday though. 😀
[i]Worn rubber on the brake spooky?[/i]
I think it actually went down as something along the lines of 'brake pedal anti-slip provision worn' or something to that effect. You could just see through to the metal on one corner, so spun it round so there is now fresh rubber on the edge.
Maybe its one of those things that can't fail if it isn't present...like my missing bump stops. One fell off, so I was forced to remove the other so it wouldn't be failed. Took ages to get it off but the ride is much better now 🙂
I had a problem yesterday with my car, felt like a seized O/S front caliper. So whipped the wheel off and one of the pads had lost its retaining spring, plus well worn along with a well corroded/gouged disc. Nothing wrong with the caliper.
Got new discs and pads, O/S went on no probs. Took N/S wheel off, and again a well worn pad and a seized caliper... Bu99er. And can't get one until Monday. Double bu99er.
Any ideas though for how to get a seized brake hose nut undone?
old guy had kept it in a garage for years and only ever driven to the shops once a week
21k in 2 years driving to the shops once a week, where did he live Alaska?
he did 21k in about 10 years, i've only owned it 2 years.
passed the MOT 😀
i'll donate a tenner to macmillan cancer support though 🙂
