Great video and good friendship and working chemistry between you and Matt. I genuinely thought '1 month later' was a spoof of 'sometime later' at first. 😁
Glad to find & watch this video i have had problems with my rear brakes one side will start to get very hot 🔥 just refurbed the rear brakes new shoes cylinder's all cleaned & star adjusters refurbed , but i didn't look at flexis thought yeay there ok 😂 going to change them now 👍
The brake hose closing up was a common issue we ran into when I was working restorations on British cars. It's endemic to most vehicles when they get that age, the rubber hoses eventually just give up.
Good work guys, your using yours as much as I do - it always needs something😂. I’m sure you know this but the issue with the flexi hose is the the foot pressure is far higher than the return pressure, so when they fail, you can pump the fluid in but there’s not enough return pressure to release the brakes. Keep up the good work
In case you didn't know, the rusty squares, either side of the front vent grill, are because someone has fitted a late bay front section, then filled in the indicator recesses. But you'v probably uncovered all that by now.
Hi . Can you do less time lapse I really like to see what and how you are doing things. You can get a tool or make one for the brake shoe springs - its simply a tube that allows yoy to press the retainer over the spring and then twist it, Useful for mant drum braked cars incliding Minis. Keep it up.
Total win so far, engine sorted, starter and brakes fault diagnosed and repair in the pipeline....it'll be spinning its wheels in a muddy campsite in no time!! 😂
You beat me again lol, just older. You get the Amazon when I buy a Volvo, now I’m getting rid of the Volvo for a transporter! Ahahahhahaha. Slightly newer though I’m just about closing a deal on a 2014 T5
I love happy endings! 😁😊🥳
Haha 😆

Argh no worries buddy it was a odd fault never had this issue with a car before but it’s sorted the issue and it’s back on the road and safe again.
Looks like you're having a lot of fun 😊.
Oh this one is a roller coaster 🤣
The brake hose closing up was a common issue we ran into when I was working restorations on British cars. It's endemic to most vehicles when they get that age, the rubber hoses eventually just give up.
Oh really I didnt know it was a common issue with these, well its easy enough to sort for sure. Thanks for watching.

Haha 😂 glad I am not the only one then. Yes the flexi is the issue and will be replaced. Thanks for watching 👍

Yes I was aware of this when I bought it. Thanks though 👍
You were both having way too much fun and in this case I guess size does matter.
Haha thanks 🤣

Yes we definitely do also found out there is a tool for them so will be getting that. Cheers for watching
@@SimpsonsClassics do get the tool, it makes the job so much simpler.
