You said you didn't know what a sleeve does.

Well the master cylinder is exactally that, a cylinder. There is a piston that moves up and down inside the cylinder. Now this causes wear on the cylinder wall, so you bore it out, and put a sleeve in there so that the cylinder wall is all new again!

here me thinks no lights. i even today after picking up mini ask a bloke at the servo if i had lights and no i didnt. BUT when i reverse into the shed today, back up to wood, there is brake light glow. the brake lights only work when car is on, and the rego blokes didnt know that. Yet they would fail me for it Shocked ??
but that was strange


Camel, the reverse lights (some minis have them) are in the same area or what have you as the brake lights so if you have your mini in reverse it might look like you have brake lights.

Take the lens off and check the globes, if your lucky it might be just globes otherwise start looking for loose or broken wires, also check the contacts between the globes and the socket they are sometimes dodgy. :wink:

What fuzzy is trying to say is that the indicators act as your reversing lights, but instead of flashing, they are both constantly on. :wink:
