Hi Tobias,

Yes, I must be the biggest sucker for punishment on the planet ;)

Thanks - I think I'll need it!

Chris.

Hello,

Nice to read, even if I was wrong.

Come on Chris, tell us you didn't know what to do this winter ? :-)

Well, it seems obvious now but I didn't think of the master cylinder at first. I thought the original symptoms pointed to a problem nearer the wheels.

Well yes, I generally seem to spend more time in breaker's yards when the it's raining and cold than dry and sunny! The problem is I'm going on a month-long holiday to Peru over Christmas - I may have to give the car to a garage to do the work. I don't really have the room to pull a whole engine out anyway. Well, at least it means I won't have the car off the road for weeks and weeks while I figure out how to put it back together again ;)

Chris.

so you declined the "push it off the cliff" route and not gonna buy my 306 now then? mmmmm could have done with the cash for christmas........

Yes, it's back on the road at the moment (just!). I like my crazy car projects with little or no economic value ;)

Chris.
