brake lines

Post by Lawso »

here's an interesting one.

get to back practice today at about 1pm, came back out at 2, and notice fluid under the passenger rear tyre. take a closer look, its brake fluid :D.

also look at caliper, and it appears that i'm missing a brake pad, and the rotor is absolutely stuffed beyond all belief.

this happened in wethril park, i needed to get home to coogee

m7 > m5 > southern cross drive >alison rd > home safe

lawsochap. shaken, not stirred

not something i would wish upon anyone, losing most of your braking...

but it is now that i thank mitsubishi for putting in a tiptronic gearbox to help me slow down

Funnily enough, NRMA will not help you with anything brake related. Their public liability insurance will not cover incidents that occur after
roadside brake repairs, hence they wont touch them. Best they can do is offer a tow :roll: Been there, done that after shearing a caliper bolt last year.
