Does your car hate you too?

[Neo Badness]

Right feeling a bit sorry for myself, have my first track day on Sunday and MOT was supposed to be tomorrow.

Speedo cable snapped on Sunday passed there, replaced on Tuesday due to bank hol. Yay.

Discovered wipers weren't working nor blower, boo.

Fixed wipers with replacement relay 18 (cheers RJ) yay.

Blower motor fried, boo.

Brake fluid low.  Bought new pads, yay.

Wasn't the brake pads, twas the fubarred master cylinder that is leaking all down my bulkhead and stripped the paint off as it went  boo

Sprayed in the face with brake fluid that flicked up when I pulled off reservoir.

Can't MOT as no brakes.

Looking decidedly unlikely to get to my track day.

So fooked off I could torch it. Know I'll feel better when it's sorted but jeeze, right now I HATE may car and it seems the feeling is mutual.

Any one know if a 23mm master cylinder with 13mm unions will fit mk2? Think I have one but not sure where...

is the mk4 back on the road yet?

[Neo Badness]

Hmmmn, seems I'm not alone. Cheers for the replys guys.

Had a cup of coffee and a think.

I'm now researching fitting the 23mm M/c as I defo bought one, just have to find it. Could be anywhere amongst the three lockups

Put it away safely as dismantled car I was keeping it in, just need to figure out how to fit it to existing pipes/ replace rotten ones. Find somewhere that sells 13mm brake pipe attachments.
Also need to find a brake pipe spanner.

Also I'm working from 8am to 10pm tommorow so leaves me Saturday to get back in the game.


Never simple is it?
