RE: Banpei's new TA60 family cruiser
Problem solved.
Brakelines were in good condition. So I brought it to the garage and they found the issue within 2 minutes. The problem is that the bleeding nipples don't seal 100% when you undo them. I'm pulling the brake fluid through with a vacuum system. In the open position, I noticed sometimes a few small bubbles appeared and I would leave it to flush everything out. However, it apparently always happened when the nipples were almost in the closed position. So, when I close the bleeding nipple it will draw in a small bubble of air into the system. The garage removed the nipples, put some thick grease on them and inserted them back in again and the problem was solved. Also, today is the first wash in 5 years! There is still dirt and grime on the car, but it will have to do for the sale. Also, the car was running terribly on the stale petrol. I had difficulty keeping it idle sometimes. I did fill up the car with 5 liters last year, but I think I had burnt through most of that already going back and forth to the MOT stations. So after adding 20 liters of fresh euro 98 and driving back to the garage, it ran beautifully again. 1983 - AE86 Sprinter Trueno - import project 2013 - Honda Civic sport - daily driver 2004 - AEU86 dot ORG - daily domain Support our forum, buy from the AEU86 shop: |
