G'day members, Driving to the local park, to give the dog a run.
Came to a "T" intersection - applied the brakes, sh*t hardly any brakes!
Got home, rang around, got into a bloke with a hoist, drove into his shed and he says there's the problem, brake fluid streaming out the back.
Long story cut short, the brake pipes had corroded outside to in, 2 days later and over 6 metres of pipe replaced I'm back on the road.
Now the car is a 97 magna, so get your local mechanic to check the pipe work if the car is getting some age on it.
Cost me $250, which l thought was very reasonable as the fuel tank had to come out and the pipe work bent in many places.
Don't leave the check too long, new pipes are teflon coated or you can get stainless.
Regards
Stevo
