Re: Fleet Occurrences

The nearside rear caliper on the 75 was suspected to be binding a bit so I had that freed off at the start of September when I had all the brake lines replaced. The Rover chap I take it to and I agreed that it would probably start to bind again and I think it is doing so again, just a touch. New cal...

Re: Fleet Occurrences

The rest of the car is actually alright and that strut is off the car now anyway.

I've only covered around 1000 miles in this since it's MOT in February, mainly due to lockdown. I should use it more but I prefer my 75 right now.

Fleet Occurrences

Hello, I thought I had better start a thread about my stuff. As can probably be seen, I buy stuff I like and don't toe the line of owning something with an XUD. I like Renaults though. Here is my Audi 80 Cabriolet which I won in a raffle in February 2019. It's given good service and all the family l...

Re: 1968 AMC Rebel
