Famous last words...

Post by KevR »

A few days ago I was boasting to someone that my £250 TZD estate had done 60k miles in the past four years and I'd had practically no trouble with it at all, and not a whisper of a problem from the hydraulics. Went out today and there's a pool of finest green underneath... :evil:

Will get it up in the air later and investigate, but in future I'll have to learn to keep my big mouth shut...

If so, it needs to get to a vet, and urgently!

Result! Turned out to be just a cracked rubber pipe between the brake doseur and return pipe. Bit of a sod to get to on the TD but five minutes' work to diagnose and fix.
