Poor quality replacement parts
« on: April 02, 2005, 14:27:21 »
Fitted a new Lucas Girling rear brake cylinder last March and is is now leaking all over my recently fitted brake shoes  :evil:

Rang the supplier and he said I must have dirty fluid.... bl**dy cheek! Told him it had new master cylinder, calipers, and rear cylinders all at the same time and it has been bled through since to. He conceded and has sent out a replacement FOC. Should think so too!

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40
