Re: BRAKE FALURE 200 1982

Thanks all, and Bob, yup, it's one and the same. The M.C. was bad when I got it, I replaced it and then replaced it again. I will check the junction box and switch when the rain stops long enough. It is not loosing a significant amount of fluid. maybe a few ml's since i did the job in August. I allowed that for a bit of air in the system.

I drove the car to Qualicum Bay and back today with no problems, but since my employment status is unresolved, I am considering selling the beige bomb, and getting another fix-up car. I have done a lot of work on it, and it looks and runs very well, though the idle is high when it's warm. (I suspect a timing belt issue as i noticed this AFTER changing it for a new belt)

I picked up some hubcaps for it at the local Volvo wrecker and the sales clerk remarked that they sell cars like mine for around $4000.

Not bad considering I've spent about $1300 including body work, M.C. Water Pump, belts and new front seats!

We'll see.
