i can't win for losing with my car lately. first car i bought 13 years
ago...it frustrates me so badly i want to push it off a cliff somedays, but
heaven forbid a non British car owning person would ever say that to me.
i changed my oil the other day and it went so smoothly that i told myself
surely something else will go wrong now.
my brakes went wrong, again. i haven't bothered looking yet, because i know
i should just step back. they seemed to be working just fine though deep
down i knew they need another bleeding. i made it home from work safe and
sound, but when i wanted to go for a drive on this beautiful summer night, my
brakes went straight to the floor. i fear that i saw a drop of fresh brake
fluid on my floor mat, but i can't be sure. i checked the mc and the brake
line
i replace and didnt notice any leak. i need to recheck the mc and pull the
rubber piece up further. my fear of course, is that the most expensive part
needs to be replaced again.
i have not checked the rear cylinders. as i said b4, i was having trouble
bleeding all the air out, but the pressure seemed good enough and it was
staying, but now all of a sudden nothing. i did notice that one of my inner
rear
wheels was grimy and coated in something that leaked. the problem is, the
car sat for awhile so i cant remember if its old grime from a rear axle prob
that has since been fixed and i never bothered cleaning it, or if its fresh.
i
will clean it up tomorrow and check the cylinders, but may break down and
just have a professional do it.
thoughts on where to start? thinking rear cylinders first. if i dont see a
leak should i bleed them again. it just doesnt seem like it will be as
simple as bleeding them this time.
frustrated as all hell...steph
