After my hamfisted exploits fitting a new caliper and hose, being unable to remove the old pipe, Thunderbird 2 arrived this morning

In it was the man from the People's Republic of North Tyneside to the rescue

He set about having a look, came to the conclusion to cut the old fitting off and fitting a new flared end. A bit of swearing, a few biscuits, cups of tea and job jobbed

Can't thank the man enough

Cheers Bri

As it has been bitterly cold today I'm assuming he was well wrapped up warm in just his tee shirt as usual !

Never forget one Carter Bar meet. One member (who I won't name!) had a problem with his car so Brian went to have a go at it with his T4. Suddenly the air turned blue and Brian's T4 laptop flew over the fence into the long grass like a frisbee

Brian climbed over the fence, retrieved the laptop and drove off into the sunset. Said member omitted to mention that he'd been trying to sort the fault himself and had been tinkering around inside the ECU, it blew the cr@p out of Brian's laptop as soon as he tried to connect.

I believe it was the dlc connector that had been modified, and If memory serves me correct more than one T4 was connected.....

I was only talking to the same exceptional intellectual genius last week about things in general and how we were both getting on etc, as always talk diverts to cars and my brakes, and SRS, which with some of his brain picked i have now solved both, so yes Brian a big thank you too from me.
