Sure is! Just sold my Freelander not an hour ago - now have to car share with my Mrs.
Petrol was killing it for me - 160 squid a month and £67 a month insurance, £120 every 6 months Tax! :(
Divided he ad:
:offtopic: ish ..... But,
There's about to be a T reg Renault laguna 1.9td sport for sale....52,000miles on the clock and 400 miles to a tank (60-65 litre tank) with a slightly heavy foot!.... I'm up and downgrading at the same time!!
Probably buying a 22 year old car (dependant on my ramp inspection tomorrow) so down grading in the years..... But it is a 2wd Sierra Sapphire Cosworth, so a little more power!! :bugeye:
Yer I know.... "Car Gloat!" and I don't even own it yet!! :)
Fix Or Repair Daily Here we come!! :lol: :dremel:
Back on topic.... Are you sure it's the valve Darren? could always be a collapsing flexi' brake hose? If it's seized then it might be right? They're always seizing!
make sure you copper grease the pivots etc on the new one after the test. Specially with the winter salting on the way!
Glad the rest of the work has paid off though :thumbup:
Ralph.
Darren:
Brake Load Compensating Valve.....truly seized up solid
Rang Fiat for a new one............£115.78 + VAT + delivery = £145
I could not stop laughing on the phone.....chap said "I take it you don't want it then"
My reply "you must be clairvoyant"...... :lol: :lol: :lol:
Now to find a 2nd hand one........I keep thinking, I would be a whole lot better off getting another car for a spares donor. Over just a couple of years it would pay dividends.

I look forward to your post detailing the machining of the new valve!
Darren:
I might have a go at de-rusting the old one and seeing if it can be reclaimed. If only out of interest...!!
I've just done a rusted up solid Rioch drill chuck and it now turns quite freely...... :)
