Although all the brakes are rebuilt they are still not working correctly. I think the servo is leaking, so I am going to send it away for reconditioning. Did get the new water pump fitted though. Kind of 2 steps forward and 1 back. Bugger!

Hi Guys, have taken advantage of a couple of days off to do some work on the Transit. Thoughts are turning to the MOT and on checking all lights etc found all that worked was on rear side light and two indicators. After some re-wiring, new bulb holders, a bit of soldering and a new pair of headlights all is now good. Even got the horn working !

Hi Irish
I want it MOT'd as soon as poss' so I can iron out any bugs before the season starts. Unfortunately there are still a few annoying problems to sort out but I'm getting there.

Today new thermostat fitted and filled with new antifreeze mixture. Started up a treat! Also straightened up the front bumper so I could get the end corners on. Small steps I know but all going in the right direction.

Had a reconditioned brake servo back today. Unfortunately it wasn't mine and was for a completely different vehicle !!!!!
One annoyed phone call later, hopefully mine will arrive soon.

Waiting for parts is the worst. When you have lots of time, you have no parts, when you're busy, they arrive....

Correct servo has arrived! I am hoping to get some free time to fit it tomorrow and see if it works.

Still having trouble bleeding the brakes so have ordered an eezibleed kit. Used to have one years ago and found them brilliant so fingers crossed.
