Divided he ad:
If the valve is seized it can usually be helped out with penetrating oil and a bit of working of the arm..... If however the internals are stuck..... It'll be a bit more difficult!
The car.... I'll see and know more tomorrow :)
Well at least the labour on all the repairs is free :thumbup: Parts are a little steep though.... Turbo's are £700!!!! :jaw: and some bits you just can't get new!
Aww well, it'll be fun :ddb:

I'm still struggling getting this MOT done. It keeps failing on the front brakes. Individually the brakes have very good pressure. But together the machine is saying that one side has 60% more pressure than the other which is diabolical.
The thing is the car brakes fine and pulls up in a straight line. At 60% inbalance you would expect it to pull to one side quite badly. But it doesn't. I have had another garage strip clean and bleed the brakes 3 times and still the brake testing machine at the MOT station is saying 60% inbalance.
I lost my cool a little today and told the tester to take it out for a drive to see how bad this pulling to one side really was. He was gone for a while and when he came back stated he couldn't fault the braking, in fact even with hands off the wheel it still pulled up perfectly straight under heavy braking. My sharp reply was "and what more could you ask for"
Back on the machine....60% rears it's head again......he is now doubting his machine....but still no MOT. I said fine, I'll leave it here and you sort it out then and that is where I've left it.....
He's muttering something about the ABS interfering with the results now....
Bloody technology.....
Darren:
At last, he's passed it........decided it must be the abs.
That's that horror over for another 12mths..... :coffee:
