The 2nd brake shop in Penhurst removed all the metal filings and took out a piston to vacuum out all the filings closest to the repair area.


Did he use a Hoover or a Dyson? :lol:

Maybe it's best you stay in goulburn then morris 1100. That way you are safe from brake failing minis in sydney :roll:

It was built to be a track day car but it will be a daily..

oh and i think he used a roombba..

The first place "blew" the filings out... i don't know how that was achieved... maybe with a straw..

Morris 1100 does not have to stay in Goulburn if he hates my brakes that much and buys me some new ones :D

If its a daily, scrap the oil cooler. Just something else to leak from.

Hubris.

One day there'll be a new thread which is called "Total brake and oil failure" and there'll just be fluids everywhere.

Or maybe we will expect a few other threads so we should just rename it total failure...
